	Wait a moment. I have won two tournament games against Dr. Fernando Gamboa (no
draws, no losses). Dr. Gamboa won a tournament game against GM Larry
Christiansen, again no draws and no losses (well, that was before Christiansen
became a grandmaster; but again Fritz beat DT before DB won against Kasparov).
And I am sure Christiansen has won a game against Kasparov (I do not have the
score, but any big database should have it); but perhaps he has also drawn and
lost games against Gary.
	¿Conclusion? ¡I am number one!
José (:
