Well, your thread title was "Worst chess champion for there (sic) time" and you said "probably Max Euwe." I took that to mean that you thought that he was probably the worst for his time in comparison with other chess champions.
My first thought was that you offered no evidence at all.
But I was intrigued, so I went and Googled Max Euwe and saw that he had won more than 100 tournaments and had won the Dutch national championship 12 times and had beaten Fischer once and drew once in 1957 in non-tournament games, so he was no slouch. But I didn't see anything that revealed what his chess play was like during the period when he was champion.
This morning I went back to chessgames.com and I saw that he had finished tied for 3rd in a supertournament in England while he was champion. (Notttingham 1936)
Chessgames says "second at Zandvoort 1936 behind Reuben Fine, third at Nottingham 1936, half a point behind Mikhail Botvinnik and Jose Raul Capablanca but ahead of Alekhine, first ex aequo at Amsterdam 1936 with Fine," so it sounds like he was pretty active while he was champion and he did pretty well amongst all those all-time greats.
So that's pretty good, isn't it? I mean it can't have been any worse than Fischer, who failed to defend his title in any form or play in any tournaments at all after he became champion.
After doing that I realized that your title was unlikely to get any responses, so I did edit it to what I thought was your intention.
Probably max euwe
