Given the widely acknowledged rating inflation over the past the 30 years, a
rating today of 2500 FIDE is the equivalent of 2400 rating in 1971. That's
International Master level, not Grandmaster.
In the early '70s the top, world-class players were rated 2600+, and there
damn few of them. Now the very top is 2700+, or even 2750+.
Ratings measure performance at a particular time, and I know that comparisons
with earlier times are dicey. Even so, does anyone really think that Shirov,
Gelfand, Morozevich, etc. are really 100+ points stronger than Botvinnik, Tal,
Fischer, Spassky, etc.?
