Kasparov number

My Kasparov number is 5 or less: Streater beat Bertholdt in the last round of the World Students' Championship, 5-15 April 1956, held at Uppsala, Sweden; the last four wins are to be seen here, by inserting Dieter Berhtoldt into the ask-space: Bertholdt beat Julius Szabo, who beat Efin P. Geller, who beat Gorgiev Krum, who beat Garry Kasparov.
