You must not have heard about Judit Polgr, the youngest ever (at the time) chess Grandmaster. Her highest ranking was #8 in the world which is definitely playing in the very highest tier. “Polgr is the only woman to have won a game from a reigning world number one player, and has defeated ten current or former world champions in either rapid or classical chess: Magnus Carlsen, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Boris Spassky, Vasily Smyslov, Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand, Ruslan Ponomariov, Alexander Khalifman, and Rustam Kasimdzhanov.” She retired from competitive chess just yesterday!

Shit, I overlooked that idiotic quote of LLH.

I mean, depending on how stupid you want to be with ‘score’, it’s a more or less mendacious comment, but it sure is wrong.
