I thought this would be a good place to investigate this.
What is the highest BCF/ECF grade ever achieved and who was the owner?

A 282 by Morozevich in 1995 is the highest I can find, it is here:-

I think that there is a 290 rated player in the grading database accessible by the graders! Can't remember who but he/she played like less than 5 games so it's really only a performance rather than an actual grade (which would have to be based on 30 games).

Actually, after searching the current top rated players I thought that it would be better to find out who was the top 'A' rated player, i.e. one who has played at least 30 ECF rated games in England.

Parker, Jonathan F come top with 242

I think I prefer the first one, it must be harder to find an A grade player who has had a long season as there are not enough big events in England to rouse the super grand masters from their dark rooms of analasis.
