May be > someone can explane this difference? > On the last published elo list on my page, you can find all players=20=20 who have participated in European tournaments only, who have played=20=20 at least 12 official games and who have played at least one official=20=20 game in the last 2 years. This list with those 3 requirements=20=20 contains 132 players. The last complete list in my archives include all players who have=20=20 played in European tournaments only. This complete list contains 296=20=20 players, I have sent it to Asle for continuing the work. On the Asle's first list, you can find all players who have played at=20= =20 least one official game in a western tournament (don't mind of the=20=20 two players with no game played at the top of the list). This=20=20 includes all 296 games of my complete list, and all competitors of US=20= =20 tournaments. Including less than 12 games players as well, and=20=20 inactive players for two years or more. This list includes 477=20=20 players in all.
