Anybody who asks this question shows he hasn't understood what a
rating system is.

You can demonstrate easily enough how the average rating has changed
with time; however, you cannot show how the player strength for a
given rating has changed: In order to do this you would need to
measure strength, i.e. you need a rating system...

Rating systems measure *relative* strength, they cannot measure
*absolute* strength.

I find it's the opposite because theory improves over time.

Really, as pointed out by Elo himself.

You could do it (measure the change in player strength for a given rating
over time) with a player of constant strength - say a computer program - and
record it's performance against players of various ratings over time. A
meta-rating system, if you will.

Shame on the Americans on let Zionists drive their foreign policy for
decades.

Hmm, let's examine this situation.

On the one hand, we see a small but brave country that shares most of
our cultural ideals.

On the other hand, we see a large number of ignorant and backward
countries, whose cultural ideals are mostly detestable to us, that are
trying to destroy the small country.

Which side do you expect us to take?

Well, at the very top, there had been a deflation:

Kasparov used to be at 2890+ and is these days at 2810+
Anand used to be at 2840+ and is these days at 2780+
Kramnik used to be at 2840+ and is these days at 2770+

Kasparov is at an age where he should be declining.
