To be able to say that "Kasparov doesn't understand anything in chess", Morozevich himself, should understand Chess better than everyone, while a little back he admits that he doesn't understand Chess neither.... Now that Kasparov left we will hear many nonsense about him from others..... Also the starting-propagandistic-presentation of Morozevich saying "One of Russia's leading grandmasters Alexander Morozevich is often compared to Mikhail Tal." is very often being met to interviews and make me feel sick.... This is happening because they want for obvious reasons to say good words to the person being interviewed and also because after the death or retirement of a legend they immediatelly try to "set" someone else in its place....This happens in all sports (see Michael Jordan, etc)..... But this is hypocrisy.....
