      Super GM isn't top 10. If you want to say he's top 10 then you say he was top 10. Super GM is 2700, there are plenty of them that aren't top 10.

Don’t make it sound that there is no elo inflation. Yes, IMs then can be considered GM strength if the number of tournaments today are the same as their time. Easy elo.

    Love the Karpov story and Yasser's storytelling, but I'm low-key impressed with Aman's endgame. Yeah, okay, it is a fairly simple pawn endgame where he draws as the black King can't infiltrate, but look how calm Aman is with seconds left on his clock. I know he is a GM, but if I am that low on time (drawn position or not), I lose my marbles, hang all my pieces and then hang mate in 1 xD

    obviously karpov will have a low win streak, he's a no risk type player and doesnt always try to win, so in a tournament or match if he needs a draw to win, he will draw. Anyways the real achievement is to have a long streak of super tournament wins. Which Kasparov,Karpov have not bobby

      true, chess is like war. You don't need to win every battle to win the war.
      P.S. Fischer didn't want to face Karpov despite the conditions being similar to the modern ones - first to X points wins. If all games drawn, the champion stays the same.
      As much as I admire Fischer's games and creativity, he seems to be too much of a diva. But maybe I lack some insight.

    Based on what I can find on chessgames (and I may be mistaken), it looks like Yasser is misremembering slightly and instead scored 7.5/8 in eight games with a draw in the middle? I'm getting four wins at the end of Phillips & Drew Kings in London followed by a draw and three wins at the Toluca Interzonal. His wins are nothing to sneeze at, though, comparable to Karpov's six at Linares 1994: Yasser got Ljubojevic, Karpov, Nunn, Miles, Kouatly, Portisch, and Adorjan, conceding a draw to Ivanov.
