Inflated ELO Ratings[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Anatoly Karpov has stated (and he should know given his playing strength and achievments) that he thinks ELO ratings have become subject to inflation and IMHO I think he is right.  Bobby Fischer's peak rating was 2785 in July 1972 and this is IMHO the highest anyone has so far in reality achieved.  This means, at least in my opinion, that no-one in reality has yet achieved a rating of 2800.
