If Kasparov played on here for a year, regularly, would anybody like to conjecture as to what his rating would be?
Put another way, how much better is he than our best players on here?
Just curious

However I am very impressed. Do I take it then that Kasparov would have a rating of mid 2000s?
PS Who is the world's best player now? The last time I saw chess on TV was in 1993 or 1994 when the Kasparov vs Nigel Short series was on British TV. I'm clearly out of touch.

PS I'd rather play Monica Bellucci or Giorgia Palmas than Kasparov but that's both an irrelvant and fairly pathetic thing to say so please disregard my lonely man's fantasies and enlighten me as requested.

It's stilla great acheivement to beat him, but not as difficult as one to one.

Originally posted by VargYes, it's not a big deal to beat a GM in a simul, especially if you are of Expert strength. I've beaten Shamkovitch, Walter Browne, Newel Banks and Jude Acers in simuls they gave. Doesn't mean anything.

I've also been on the other end - giving simuls, where out of 77 games I won 75 and had 2 draws, and no loses. But my rating still bounces between cass A and Expert at USCF.

I was surprised actually to see him still playing now. I remember as a child learning to play and when I beat my friend (rare) I'd claim to be Garry Kasparov. That was 20+ years ago. I guess Karpov quit some time ago. It was their duels which originally inspired me to start, even though I was only 7. Pity I'm no good!
