How do you get educated if you don't listen?

Actually your the one who is not getting it, but we will come to that.

Aha!
And this is where you completely DIDN'T get my point.
I said talent and man hasn't changed, you can read into this, that Alekhine
_might_ have been as strong as Kasparov, had he lived today. BUT he doesn't live
today!
Chess progresses like other sports, the top today is in all likelyhood stronger
than the top 20 years ago, if you assume man and talent is the same.

No I am saying it _probably_ does increase, a little due to better tools and
advances in chess over time.

Let us break down that sentence so even the moderators can see what you are
doing here. Allow me to rephrase:
"Sune, you can't understand this, you are too damn stupid, you do not have an
education".

Your version passes the charter (apparently?), mine falls through. This is what
I mean by war game Rolf, you balance the charter all the time.
To you it is a game of who can make the worst insults without breaking the
charter. Well it is a stupid game Rolf, I know you are an expert player but I'm
not up it today, okay.

I know there are a lot more insults in the text below (I will leave as an easy
exercise for the reader to find them), but I'm not going to read them because I
honestly find these dicussions extremely tiresome and pointless.
