I. GM Ashley is an example of an average Grandmaster.

II. GM Ashley is a Newer Grandmaster.

III. GM Ashley has a rating below 2500 as many other Grandmasters do, not just
the "old Grandmasters"

IV. GM Ashley best Elo was just 2500.

Making the point that this is all that is needed to be a Grandmaster in todays
world, Not the lofty standards Bob and other are trying to say it take to be a
Grandmaster.
