A great accomplishment by Nakamura, but it seems to me that the GM title has
become easier to obtain over the years. Also, I just looked up Fischer's rating
at chessmetrics.com, and when he was 15.8 years old, he was ranked number 23 in
the world (this may not jive with FIDE's list at the time, but I don't have that
list). According to FIDE's most recent list, Hikaru is number 450 in the world.
Not all GM's are created equal.
