    Khalifman gained the Grandmaster title in 1990 with one


    particularly good early result being his rst place in the
    1990 New York City Open ahead of a host of strong players. His most notable achievement was winning the FIDE
    World Chess Championship in 1999, a title he held until the following year. He was rated 44th in the world
    at the time,[5] while Classical World Champion Garry
    Kasparov was rated No. 1. Khalifman said after the tournament, Rating systems work perfectly for players who
    play only in round robin closed events. I think most of
    them are overrated. Organizers invite same people over
    and over because they have the same rating and their rating stays high.[6] Khalifman played in the Linares chess
    tournament next year, and performed credibly (though
    placing below joint winner Kasparov).[7]
