FIDE and USCF (just to name a couple) missed a grand opportunity to raise money
and interest in chess by not inviting comps from say 1985 to the present.
However, with the strength of the comps today, it would not be a challenge under
tournament conditions, match conditions it is still close at the top and for a
very few lower rated players.  The comps would dominate the tournament scene
today and nobody wants to see that (except maybe a few of us here).  The time
for close/interesting tournament play has past and the close match play will be
gone in a short time.

Just my 2 cents.  I wish FIDE/USCF had done the right thing in the past.
