A new poll: does your rating tell the truth about your play?

   I'll leave the Anand-Kramnik poll for a little while longer, though
   the trend is pretty decidedly in Anand's favor, but meanwhile a new
   and entertaining question has taken top billing on the right sidebar.
   Do you think your slow chess rating (just FIDE and/or national
   ratings, please, not Playchess, ICC or some other server) accurately
   represents your real, true, honest to goodness strength? (Not your
   talent or "understanding" of the game, but your strength.) I know what
   answer I expect to see come out on top, but I'd love to be proved
   wrong.
