"Kasparov...With an incredible team of analysts..(before computers) ONLY beat 2600 GMS to get that 2850 rating"
When he reached 2850 all players in the top ten were 2700+. Not that it makes it an unimpressive achievement.

"Mr Carlsen seems to be vulnerable against weaker players"
"He's not so Dominate at the Olympiads playing run of the Mill..GMS"
It's either that or that he only beats "weaker" players :-) I subscribe more to the "comparatively bad results against clearly weaker players"-theory. But that is partly because of his high draw contempt in such games. As with the game against Naiditsch, he goes over the top in avoiding anything drawish. I think that is why he has more losses to Naiditsch, Vallejo, Nepomniachtchi, Saric, Wojtaszek, Vallejo etc than to Anand, Kramnik, Nakamura, etc the last five years.
Thats correct!
Hence my comment.
