Hi!

Do you know Michael Jordan? I think almost everyone knows him. He's a basketball legend. There were many taller ones, stronger ones, better shooters, better dribblers, better dunkers than him but it is HIM who is being named GOAT by basketball fans in the world.

What is GOAT? The GREATEST OF ALL TIME! He was the best because, apart from excellent abilities, he desired the victory as nobody in the world. He was ready to sacrifice everything to achieve his goals.

Ok, now I am going to ask you all who and why can be named the Chess GOAT?

Which of World Champions? Or maybe someone different? I am very curious what's your opinion!

Vishi, apart from being an excellent player, is very smart and kind person.

There are 2 polish Grand Masters in Anand's staff: Wojtaszek and Gajewski.
