Karpov, Petrosian, Capablanca, Botvinnik, and Smyslov.
top 5 positional players?

see what I mean a regurgitation of the same 14 world champions basically for any list one wants to make up.
To make up another list Why not the left handed player with the highest winning percentage on Tuesday. Maybe even what player named Bobby was the Greatest.
Would Robert Byrne be eligible for that contest?

This isn't going to sound right, but if the vote list doesn't include Karpov, then the vote shouldn't be counted. Unless your name is Kasparov.
here I'm just wondering who you think the top 5 positional players of all time are. you can vote for less than 5 but please not more than 5. 5 points for 1st, 4 for 2nd and so on.
There have been 9 out of 30 votes.
