Chesslab readers note …  due to rating inflation … at least 100 ELO rating points for decades old internationals like Kim Commons, James Tarjan, Lombardy, Addison, the late grandmaster and US champion Larry Evans cited repeatedly in his chess column that plus 100 must be added to players like Fischer today … that is Fischer ELO 2889 rating … Chesslab readers: your call.
