How do you guys think Garry Kasparov, in his current form, would fare in this Candidates tournament?

(Let's say we gave him a year of prep to get the cobwebs out)

Kasparov left near the height of his abilities. In order to succeed at the very highest level of any established sport, you need to have a a fierce desire to win. Kasparov left because he no longer had that burning desire. If it were only about ability, he would still be one of the top 5 players in the world. Without that desire, he's still great, but better off not playing.

Kasparov did. That's why he retired.

Can't see anything on bet365 or sportsbet yet... Maybe bookmakers are scared of the 3-move draw?
