Assunto: Re: and let's not forget the greatest chessplayer of all time

rabbitoid: This is a link to the fourth in a 'trilogy' of articles concluding beyond reasonable doubt (IMHO) that Mr. Kasparov was the best ever.
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2409
The basic argument as I see it is that without the existence of Kasparov, Karpov would have dominated the world chess scene far more thoroughly than anyone else ever has. So the fact that Kasparov beat him up so much and also dominated for roughly as long proves the case.
Again IMHO, his early retirement was his best 'move' ever, and I wish him every success now in the opening phase of his new political challenge.
Best dream match? Kasparov vs Fischer would have been awesome.
