I think there are some misconceptions here.  GK does not play as much as all
other top GMs.  No fault in that, as he does indeed wint tournament after
tournament.  Dr. Hyatt's comment regarding Kasparov and ChessBase has already
been discussed and, if you like, defused.
But the stigma this letter leaves Kasparov can now wear like a medal next to his
move correction against Judit Polgar.  What a champ.  Yes, he is the strongest
player in the world.  No cause for celebration.
