Schlecter, Petrossian and Ulf Andersson.
1.) Ulf Anderson
2.) Salo Flohr
3.) Peter Leko
I agree on reconsidering Petrosian. He has some very nice attacking games......Flohr & Ulf Anderson games are as dry as sawdust....
ulf anderson was a positional master!
petrosian.... karpov ... steinitz
Anyone BUT steinitz. He went all-out in his games to defend his principles. He invented the weirdest line of the King's Gambhit where the king winds up on e3.
