I found in the paper the results of a tounament held in Nikisic, Yugoslavia.
This event was quite extraordinary in the strength of its participants,
which included three former world champions:
I would guess that the average Elo (FIDE) rating was about 2575 (!!!).
Anyway I mention this because Garrik Kasparov (USSR) had a performance
worthy of Bobby Fisher.
(A performance of 2790 in a single tournament is something that almost only
world champions achieve, though Fisher, as you may know, managed to
keep an AVERAGE rating of 2785 in his golden days.
