Let's make a wild guess.    What if I made the web site report
approximate strength using the following formula:

      dan = (elo - 2300) / 100  

So a 2400 player is 1 dan,  a 2500 player is 2 dan etc.

Here is a table:

      2300 - 1.0 kyu
      2310 - 0.9 kyu
      2320 - 0.8 kyu
      ...
      2400 - 1.0 dan
      2410 - 1.1 dan

Does this scale and these constants seem reasonable?   Am I off a class
in either direction?

note:  this is only to estimate the playing strength relative to a 19x19
player since there is no real system that makes sense for 9x9.     I
would simple put this on the crosstable web pages in parenthesis.  e.g.
