Which of the folks on this list would we qualify as a "one pocket specialist" who plays above their rating? What would the typical specialist bump be, 25 points? 50 points?
Definitely Chohan and Compton can be considered specialists. I don't know enough about Lunda or Hall to say for sure. Define specialist? If it's anyone who's best game is 1p then perhaps both of them.
Chohan is probably the gold standard for a 1p specialist. As for point bump, well, he's a 777. Gorst is an 850. Who's better at 1p? By how much? Either way, they are probably reasonably close. Does that mean Chohan is better than his rating, or Gorst is worse?
Hard to say, but I think that it's pretty clear that among the common games (so 8b, 9b, 10b, 1p; although perhaps it's pushing it to call 1p common) the game with the biggest potential variation in player skill relative to their general Fargo rating is 1p.
