Depends what is your concept on BEST. 

 

Most strong player? The one who apported more to chess? The one who had the longest reign? The one who has the highest ELO ever? 

It is all relative and it also depends in what time they lived.

Fabiano, So and Aronian have no place in the list. IMHO.

Alekhine, Karpov and Morphy should replace them. (Not ordered in any specific way)

Unlocking. It's OK to have similar topics. Though it does help if you look for other similar topics first!

In no particular order: Carlsen, Fischer, Kasparov, Kramnik, Keres, Capablanca, Alekhine, Tal, Spassky, Petrosian, Botvinnik, Reshevsky, etc. I have just as high of an opinion of Keres as Fischer or Carlsen. Shame he never got a WC shot.

It seems to me to be easy enough to ignore them if one wants.
