That's a reasonable assumption, but those are gameroom ratings, which
Arimaa players typically don't weight too heavily.

It's too easy to get inflated ratings playing against bots that you can
reliably beat, and the results have no history, unlike WHR ratings, which
means that playing repeatedly against a strong opponent can tank your
rating.
