Considering that he is 18 yrs old, he has not played as many games as the top 5,
so, for sure he is underrated. When your strength jump, it takes a while for the
ELO to catch up. In other words, he _is_ top 5 right now.
BTW, I guees that he has a higher elo than Kasparov at his age. I only expect
him to keep rising... and rising.

He is the World Champ. If anybody in the world has earned a right to set
conditions, he is the one. Personally, the only thing that we chessplayers owe
him is this: RESPECT. Mine is deep. He is still a young man? well, my
respect is even deeper then.

PS: Sueing a World Champion is ridiculous. What kind of organizers do that?
Even if they are right, this kind of things always backfire. The only one that
suffer is chess.
