I'm not sure about that, Robin.
This year's u14 - 18 entrants. 17 with grades between 1489-2033. 1 without a FIDE grade. 3 with grades over 1900.
Mureck from 3 years ago - 38 entrants. 30 with grades between 1499-2240. 8 without a FIDE grade. 10 with grades over 1900.
Probably not much between them.
