i guess really you are right if you think about it .me passing judgement on
players rated more than 600 or 700 elo points including chess computers if they
really are that strong, is i guess meaningless .i think we can only comment on
perceived power of the player . the only thing we can say for sure is deep blue
beat kasparov if only by small margin .so that knocks kasparov out the picture
,morphy we can never know .only leaves fischer and deep blue , and that we also
can never know i guess .
