You note, correctly, that Elo ratings are relative, but your argument makes a second, unstated assumption, namely that the next 99 players today are of the same average playing strength as the next 99 in Kasparov's heyday. If that second assumption is not true, then you're comparing Kasparov and Carlsen to different standards. You need to find a pool of people who are the same today as in Kasparov's day. That pool is probably your average beginner, not super-Grandmasters. | |
