Interesting, if we apply your logic to human chess, then Kramnik is not the best human player in chess because somebody somewhere claims they know more about chess than him, today. This being the case, there can never be a world's best at any activity. I believe in computer chess when you have the World Championship and the number 1 spot on the SSDF, you are the best chess program in the world. It would be up to the people claiming they have a better program to prove it. Thanks for your input.
