Congratulations Cris. Looking through the statistics, I see that you are the first person to answer all the questions correctly on the first try.

I got all 16 the first time.  Not a bad quiz.

Nice quiz! Had to guess on one or two, but got all 16 right :-D

13/16

15/16. Got the Staunton picture wrong, mainly because the previous question had been about Staunton so I instinctively avoided that answer again.

 

Also, not sure about the question about the three strongest players never to have won the world championship, since I was very tempted to go for the Bronstein and Geller group (forgot who the last player was).

In retrospective, the quiz appears way too easy. The average score is something aroud 74%. I'm considering making another one, more difficult...
