Ratings.. Ratings… Ratings…

It makes me sick
And it’s not even thát historical; Kasparow reached the 2800-mark years ago, with ease, without the latest inflation!
It is like love and music: You can’t be happy if you count the kisses and notes…

Ratings.. Ratings… Ratings…

Whatever your comments is, I’d love to see Morozevich to become No.1 in rating list despite only in virtual list.
Soon he will break the 2800 barrier and become No.1 in real.
I adire the way he play chess, disturb the balance, some unusual openings, deep calculation and easy going person. (unlike these guys Leko and Kramnik)
