Now the world's strongest player is punishing them with a 3000+ Elo performance at the Bled Olympiad. Playing on board one for Russia Kasparov has so far scored 4.5 out of five. His colleagues Peter Svidler and Alexander Khalifman are not doing too bad either. You will find statistics and results here.
