Who is the greatest chess player of all time?
Hello people,
In this blog post, we will see who is considered to be the greatest chess player of all time.
Now this topic has been debated about for a long time and mostly we would see Magnus Carlsen, Bobby Fischer or Garry Kasporav at the top of the list.
Elo:
Considering the highest ELO, we would see these people in the top 3
Magnus Carlsen:
We all know Magnus Carlsen, I mean who wouldn't! Magnus Carlsen is good as he is because of his enthusiasm and determination in chess, some of you might tell he was coached by Garry Kasparov and ergo the reason he is so good. Yes, he was coached by Kasparov but Carlsen was already a chess prodigy when Kasparov started coaching him.
Bobby Fischer:
A chess prodigy, at age 13 he won a game which was dubbed "The Game of the Century". At age 14 he became the youngest ever U.S. Chess Champion, and at 15 he became both the youngest grandmaster (GM) up to that time and the youngest candidate for the World Championship. When the first official FIDE rating list was published in July 1971, Fischer was the highest-rated player by a wide margin.
Garry Kasparov:
Kasparov became the youngest ever undisputed World Chess Champion in 1985 at age 22 by defeating then-champion Anatoly Karpov.He held the official FIDE world title until 1993. He continued to hold the "Classical" World Chess Championship until his defeat by Vladimir Kramnik in 2000. Despite losing the title, he continued winning tournaments and was the world's highest-rated player when he retired from professional chess in 2005.
Fabiano Caruana:
Born in Miami to Italian parents, Caruana grew up in Park Slope, Brooklyn. He played for the United States until 2005, when he transferred to Italy. He earned his grandmaster title in 2007, and in the same year won his first Italian Chess Championship, a feat he repeated in 2008, 2010, and 2011. He won the Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting in 2012, 2014, and 2015. He also won the Sinquefield Cup 2014, recording a historic 3103 performance rating and improving his Elo rating to 2844, becoming the third-highest-rated player in history. He transferred back to the US in 2015.
