Nice quote. But unfotunately, it often happens that the facts don't quite sqaure with GT's version of reality. Here are some official ratings from
April, 2004 -- a date which should not commercially be too far "behind the times":
1. Kasparov 2817 2. Anand 2774 3. Kramnik 2764 4. Even so leko 2741
You should note that not only is Kasparov on top, but he is the only (human)
2800 player in the world. In addition, Fischer is nowhere to be found, not because his rating is so old, but because his last performance would not nearly make the cut. Lastly believe you me, if and when Kasparov's actual (not flawlessly imagined)
results drop him off the top tier, I will loudly join your celebration, cheering the fact that an infamous liar and cheater has finally met his
Waterloo. But until then, give the Devil his due! But then again  .

Playing dead not only comes in handy when face to face with a bear, but also at important business meetings.
