Most people have only read about him. Depending of what they read: "The
big cheater" (how I hate this word from RGCC) or "the great player" they
build their opinions.
I don't know a shit about him really! He was a great chess player, no
question about it. If some of the things I've heard about his
personality, from people who met him, is right, I'm not surpised that
his enemies caught the opportunity to revenge when he went weak in the
end...
The time after someones dead is another story.
