Highest Rating of All Time Achieved Today

Congratualtions to JannLee, he is definitly the best. However, just as I posted previously something really bad happened to lichess rating system as far as crazyhouse is concerned. In 2 or 3 months I was 50th player on lichess in zh with a rating of 2100, now I am 40th with a rating of 2500. That is just too strange, it is impossible that a rating can change that much in a such a short period of time.
ZH It is developing very rapidly. Every week we see a lot of new and strong players.
@BlindfoldPlayer your rating in any pool does not mean anything except relative to the players in that pool. When the composition of the pool changes - your rating changes. This is normal and appropriate. There's been a lot of interesting events on Lichess that have emphasized crazyhouse so I'd assume the pool composition has also changed substantially in that time as well.

This is also why computer ratings are pretty silly. Saying Stockfish is rated 3400 or whatever is meaningless. That's in an incredibly closed pool. You cannot rate a computer, relative to human ELOs, without playing in the same pool as those humans!

It's also the same reason you can't really compare Fischer's 2785 to Carlsen's 2882. That the ratings remain optically comparable is an unfortunate coincidence.
