humans can have bad performance because of statistical factors (bad streak) and because of human reasons (prolonged violent diarrhea, mental blocks, etc.). so, if -300 pt performance by Anand is his worst ever, both factors must have been at full play there. For computers, statistics is the only thing that applies here, so we must be content with the elo range mentioned in some other posts. Maybe add 50 points to the top of the range because of underrated opposition. Some of 2400 opponents would have drawed Gary as well and he would have gotten lower than expected performance.
