VictorVonDoom: Kamsky sharing first place in this tournament alone put him in the top 100. After this, he was invited to Linares 1991 where he performed poorly. After this he won the US chess championship at the age of 17 to catapult into the top 50. After this, he had good performances in the 15th Interpolis and Dortmund 1992 (where he defeated Kasparov). This put him in the top 20.
After this, he placed third in the interzonal at Biel and Groningen, making it into the top 10.
After this, he had a mediocre performance at US chess Championship 1993.
But after that, he had a superb performance at both the classical and fide candidates.
In the pca candidates, he defeated both Kramnik (who was one of the top 5 players at the time) and Nigel Short (1993 pca chess championship challenger) by great margins.
In the fide candidates, Kamsky defeated Paul Van Der Sterren in the first round. After this, he beat world number 2, Vishy Anand and world number 3, Valery Salov (this being his greatest match as he won 4 games, drew 3 and lost none against such a high rated player)
This was his peak moment in the chess world. But after this he retired from professional chess while still in the top 10
