I think that would not be enough, because that would only fix one point. EGF ratings are not pure Elo ratings. EGF ratings are weighted to fit 100 points for one handicap stone, which happens to match about 65% winning percentage in even games for medium level players (around 3k). Also, I am not aware that there exists a histogram of the worldwide go population. So it is hard to match Elo to EGF by using numerical data only. That's why the discussion on that page was mainly based on qualitative arguments. Dave

From that it should be easy to compare chess ELO ratings with go ratings (or ranks).
