The legend of the best player of chess has been destroyed.
Interpretation
The statement suggests that the legacy of a once-great chess player has been diminished or tarnished.
Garry Kasparov's remark reflects the transient nature of greatness and how even the most esteemed figures in a field, such as chess, can experience a decline in their reputation or influence. This can occur due to various factors such as changes in the game, new players rising to prominence, or evolving perceptions of what it means to be the best. Ultimately, it speaks to the concept that legacies are not fixed and can be perceived differently over time.
In practice
In a discussion about the evolution of chess, one might say, 'As Kasparov pointed out, the legend of the best player has been destroyed, reminding us that even legends can fade.'

I feel like the Internet needs to be disarmed in some way. There needs to be a philosophical undermining of the Internet. We take it too seriously and too literally.
