Marcus, I do want to re-emphasize that these conversions are not meant to be “substitutes” or “improvements” on any of the figures they are used for. They are general “ball park’ guidelines created for the same purpose as the Timeform people had in mind when they created the conversion information you requested from them. There is a similar conversion table on the Roman’s site which Bit-player uses and posted here as well. Though I incorporated general equivalences and the differences in scales, the different ratings measure different aspects of performance and will not be identical even for the same race. I often find then useful in showing comparisons in tightness of fit of the different methodologies. I did emphasize that this is a work in progress, which I’ve been finding useful for years in my own handicapping and only formalized it as a response to requests sent to me from several posters here

I have discussed this privately with Jerry and we agree that since this is not primarily meant to be used to find patterns with TG figures, that further questions and discussions should be directed to me at my forum at Yahoo.

Thanks for your well wishes. If you have any other questions on further progress, feel free to contact me privately or at my group.

Bob
