New "Elite Grandmaster" Chess Title


The following article appeared as part of a chessbase report from Bartlomiej Macieja:
New "Elite Grandmaster" title
Several officials proposed to introduce a new title "Elite Grandmaster" higher that "Grandmaster"), due to the enormous growth of the total number of Grandmasters. According to my statistics, the situation is not as obvious as it may look at the first glance, as the total number of rated players grows even more rapidly. Let's compare the total number of Grandmasters to the total number of rated players, as well as to the total number of players rated over 2200:
1972:
83 / 794 = 0.105
83 / 692 = 0.120
2008:
1158 / 96509 = 0.012
1158 / 21023 = 0.055
