   I believe the following applies, mutatis mutandis, all the way down
   the food chain:

     Kasimdzhanov's victory in Libya shows that there is not any great
     chasm in playing strength between the "elite" and..."mere mortals".
     There are many more than ten people who know how to play chess, and
     those ten would also find it more interesting to play against new
     opponents, rather than just incessantly playing each other."

   Who said it, what was the context, and what do you think of it? The
   answers to the first two questions will be given (or more likely
   confirmed) in a day or two.
