I don't really like all this hype around this person, and especially, how can I put it more gently, his lack of modesty in evaluating his own game and his lack of restraint in assessing the skill level of his opponents. There are (including, for example, on this forum among the regular participants) people who, let's say, have a good chance of winning against him, but they behave much more modestly than he does, and that's what I wish for him too. IMHO.
