it must be something wrong with the ratings of Petrosian, Taimanov theyre stronger than much more 2700 masters of today, dont you think so? Of course im aware that today masters play with more precission, but 2620 ?!
It’s an interesting one. I certainly think that Petrosian et al were more talented and that there is some rating inflation these days. But of course, the modern players have learned from the greats, they know all their games and can reproduce their great moves and avoid their mistakes. Earlier players are trailblazers for their successors.

Érdemes megnézni..akkortájt Bobby volt a legnagyobb sakkozó(de talán még ma is az…lenne, ha tovább játszott volna….kár, hogy korán abbahagyta…..)
