It will be interesting to see if the Oregon Liquor Control Commission ran a background check on him. If they did, apparently it didn’t catch his falsified identity.

BTW, aren’t 80-90% of chess players in the “Top 80-90%”?

I think what he meant say was Class A players are in the 80 to 90 percentile, which is the correct way to talk about statistics.
