Zitat von Tony_Iommi

it is extremely difficult to compare the US Rating to the system in Germany. Here in the States, you may gain or lose a ton of points playing a couple of matches. In Germany that would have virtually no or very little effect.

Either that, or he played in the Verbandsliga something like 10-15 years ago and is not as good as he used to be anymore (probably an older gentleman in at least in his 40s). Most players that you ask about what league they played will tell you just the highest league they ever played...not which league they played last.

Zitat von JanMove

I assume that this player probably played on position 6 in the Verbandsliga of Baden-Württemberg. His US-rating seems to be very low and the Verbandsliga of Baden-Württemberg is one of the strongest Verbandsligas in Germany.

So, it seems that there is a big difference in playing level between the same league in different german states. So, in order to really know in what leage someone would belong based on a USATT rating, you'd actually need to knew somebody from germany in that league who also has a USATT rating. So far, I know 2 players who play 2100 level and both played Verbandsliga in different states. One local Florida player who is about 2100 rated (2103 right now) played Verbandsliga in Baden Württemberg.. His rating here varied between high 1900's and high 2100's.. His name is Werner Stollenmeier.. He has been playing in the US since over 5 years.. He is a chopper.. I really don't know if he played oben, mitte or unten..
