 | | Kamsky did not play any rated games after that except in 1999, when he returned to play in the World Championship. | | | At one point he was the third highest rated player in the world, but played no FIDE-rated games between 1999 and late 2004. | | | After losing this match he announced he was giving up chess and going to study medicine. |

| | Gata Kamsky is America's highest rated USCF chess player, and one of the top rated players in the world. | | | Kamsky's case is unique right now, but let's say he doesn't play again until next year's championship, skipping all the qualifiers and going inactive on the rating list again. | | | With the completion of his formal education, Kamsky has returned to chess, is a regular player at the New York Masters and is anxious to participate in the US Championship. |
