The most high rated players by country. The players above 1500 may be. What say?
Which ratings? The ratings here? Blitz? Standard? Bullet?
It's easy enough to figure out if you want to spend the time and restrict the search to those above 2500 instead of 1500. (Some countries probably have thousands of players rated above 1500.) It shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours.
