He is undisputed World Champion too, (besides the Fide champion, which no one truthfully claims is really a world championship anymore). Why do we call him a GM or even a superGM? Where's his real title gone to? Besides, he is probably the world champion par excellance, unlike Kasparov, who was probably not the best in the world against computers.
