Now GM Gulko is lying? Don't be absurd, he was making a honest but casual
*observation. Machines his equal? Put money on the line! And his ego?
No, it's you who needs to feed your ego.

*Remember Kasparov is well over 2800 and has had performance ratings that exceed
well over 3000!

Here's a headline with a small article under it from Chessbase.

Kasparov's incredible 3043 performance
24.09.2001 In twelve games played in the Europe vs Asia event in Batumi Garry
Kasparov scored 11 points. The Elo performance was 3043, one of the highest in
recorded chess history. We asked Garry for his best games in this tournament,
and he selected four, which you can replay on our Java board. Most of the other
games are also available, as are some new pictures, on our Batumi report page.
