Answers.Text: Indeed. On the other hand, Leko's reputations seems fully deserved! I thought that the data might be skewed by PGNs including some old games, i.e. when some of these players (like Giri) were kids at ~2000 ELO level, but running for only games played after 2010 gives comparable results. Also, added a plot for world champions - seemed interesting.
