This is a hypothetical rating. As such, it is more of an _opinion_ than the
truth. All of such ratings I have seen always have Fischer at top ;) I guess the
people who make these ratings like Fischer more than they like Kasparov. It
would not be hard to make some changes in the formula and get Kaspy at top.
