Most Important Players in Chess History

In virtually every sport or game, there is a debate about who is the greatest of all time, and which has been so far the best contest. So is the case with the royal game of chess. Thousands of articles, blogs, forums, and vlogs have been posted on this debate, but there hasn't been a clear answer yet. And the debate could go on if you like. 

The evolution of chess theory and analysis has so far been a fascinating journey. From early developments (6th to 15th century), the birth of modern chess, the romantic era, Steinitz and positional chess, the Hypermodern era, the Soviet school of chess, the computer era, to the modern opening theory, this board of 64 squares has seen it all.

The internet, engines, and computers are having an increasing impact on both disseminating chess information and providing a playing forum. The game will undoubtedly see changes in the years to come, and it will be another evolutionary step in the long and rich heritage of chess.
