Emil Sutovsky President of the ACP had some interesting comments to make about the Elo rating system yesterday:

"In spite of several flaws, the Elo system for classical chess still functions OK and in generally reflects the strength of the players considerably well (yes, I am aware of the recent K-factor problems there, and ACP monitors it!). Unfortunately, that can't be said of Blitz ratings, that were officially introduced by FIDE almost three years ago. Something must be wrong there, if we see IM Bogdanovich at no. 8 in the World (with all due respect, it has to be noted, that talented Ukrainian player still hasn't won any major blitz tournament...), whereas Fabiano Caruana is on 71st position. Or Pavel Eljanov on 68th place, behind a dozen of players below 2600 in the Elo list... It has to be said, that rapid ratings, that were introduced along with the blitz, are much more balanced."

Have you considered the Gormally solution?
Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
