Has anyone reached 3000 rating in chess?

Never, 3000 is way too high, Kasparov was 2851 in 1999 and just beating that is tough enough, a great player like Anand never had a single 2900 performance in his career as far as I know. I think once more players are able to hold ratings of 2800+ we will see 2900's. That still seems to be a ways off though.
