Botvinnik chess is a game of logic and presicion, and Misha's expertise in using his calculation to figure out the right move in complex postions astound me!

I can't decide between Rubinstein, Nimzovich, Flohr, Polougaevky, Petrosian (I learned a lot from him), Spassky in one hand, Alekhine, Gedeon Barcza (no joke), Nezhmetdinov (whoever loves Tal should learn about Nezhmet! Really, do it. Now.), Tal, Sax, Lpultian, Ivanchuck in the other.

As a matter of fact, I don't mention a lot of them.

They all have an amazing creativity in different aspects of the game.

Besides, some like Ivanchuck look like very nice people. :)

League of Heroes?

I like it! Also, League of Grandmasters might work better than League of Heroes...I don't know.
