AWARDCHESS, you mentioned great players of the past, and I agree we should respect those people. But some we often forget are players who had, and still have, a much greater impact on our lives as chess players now. I'm thinking of the writers/teachers from whom we still get much instruction long after they have died. They were all great players in their own right, but often not the champions.
Fred Reinfeld, Irving Chernev, Siegbert Tarrasch, Alexander Kotov, Alexei Suetin, Eugene A. Znosko-Borovsky, Paul Keres, Julius duMont, I. A. Horowitz, David Bronstein, Reuben Fine, and the only world champion to be a truly prolific writer/teacher Max Euwe. As players none of these (even Euwe) were quite on the level of Capablanca, Alekhine, Fischer, Morphy, Karpov, or Kasparov. But there is hardly even one of us whose lives – and chess play – has not been improved by studying what one or more of these teachers left us.
In the Russia I has a big Chess Library! And I read a lot of Chess Books and Chess Magazines!
You can add to you best list Averbach, Polugaevskiy, Bondarevskiy /Chess Coach of Spasskiy/, Smislov, Tal, Kan, Dvoretskiy, Zak, Shereshevskiy, Karpov, Kasparov...
I little disagree, that Paul Keres and David Bronstein weren't at a level of Capablanka, Alechin, Karpov, Kasparov!
jOIN NEW MATCHES AND TOURNAMENTS!
Recently, I announced Registration for New Chess Memorials and Tournaments for Fisher, Karpov, Keres, Tal, Bronshtein, Vera Menchik, Kramnik...
