Still Number One
All though it seems the
“Kasparov era” has come to an end, Garry is still the number one
player in the world (as of October 2003, his Elo rating is 2830, higher
than that of Kramnik or Anand). His determination, perseverance, courage, and
kindness can be seen throughout his life, from World Championship games of chess
to organizing charities, he is not only a great chess player, but a great man. Though his time may
be drawing closer to its end, he will forever go down in history
as one of the truest representations of what chess is actually
about.
