It has been claimed that a REAL super GM would also have struggled to get a good TPR against such lowly opposition as Shredder faced in Argentina. To investigate this further, I posed the question: how would Kasparov have performed? To do this, I have looked at all games played by Kasparov against opponents with ELO 2200 to 2500 from the year 1990, as recorded in Chess Assistant Hugebase, with updates. His results are: +57 =23 -2 Assuming average opponent ELO is 2350 (I cannot be bothered to calculate it exactly and this is about right): TPR = 2632, 95% CI = 2538 to 2683 Haha! Kasparov, like Shredder-8, is undone by weak opponents! Except that, unlike Shredder-8's games, all Gary's games were SIMULS .....
