I've seen no mention here of the widely-acknowledged inflation in FIDE ratings over the past thirty years. A player rated 2500 today would have been rated no more than 2400 in 1970 - that an IM rating, not a GM rating. Ashley is a GM because FIDE says he is. But being a GM doesn't mean what it used to. No offense to Mr. Ashley, but calling him a GM makes me choke. JOHN
