Best player ever?
Sort:
Lenny Bongcloud.
[COMMENT DELETED]
Jude Acers
I played Jude Acers a couple of times when he was at the Gazebo in New Orleans, but after Katrina I have not seen him there. I hope he is doing well. Does anyone know?
Even though Master Acers was victorious in all my games with him, I would still have to believe that Kasparov was the strongest player ever.
I don't know if he's still down there or not. I was totally joking about him being the best because this topic comes up so much. I don't know why though, everyone knows Fischer was the best.

Kasparov was crushed by Deep Blue, which wouldn't be one of the ten strongest chess playing programs today.
Yet we have people here on this site who can routinely destroy people who are busted for using these so called "chess engines."
Truly, we are blessed to have the greatest players of all time right here on this site.
I mean of course chessmates and Gonnosuke. Easily the two best players the world has ever seen. Able to beat engines that play at 2800+ capacity at a greater than 90% clip.
To call them geniuses would be an insult. Because genius is a term applied to people who have demonstrated superlative human intellect. To beat engines at that clip is beyond human. Each man, by traditional psychological performance metrics, is possessed of an I.Q. well in excess of 300.
So look no further. Gods walk among us right here.
Well than of the humans who is the best?
As far as I'M concerned, Capablanca owns all.
21 hours 20 minutes until poll closes!
CHUCK NORRIS lol
dannyhume 2023, but he will say Capablanca.
Another vote for Lenny Bongcloud, he's always 1 tempo ahead of you in the endgame with his king, impossible to beat.
18 and a half hours left to vote! After that, we will vote again for second best (with the winner of this vote being ineligible).
