He had already earned a place in history as being one of the strongest (if not the strongest) players in history. In chess, there was no nothing left for him to prove. I still hope we get to see him play once in a while, and it was nice to see him finish with a strong performance. I wish him all the best. Michael ps Rumors of my retirement are completely false and I will keep going until the fat lady sings. ;>) Michael Byrne
