People tend to exaggerate the strength of ancient masters like Botnivik, Spassky etc. But the truth is, they would struggle to maintain a 2400 rating by today's standards, and would get thrashed hands down against 2500 GMs. It would be hilarious to watch them play the top 10, probably they'd have a chance to draw Carlsen if they were playing a simul.
I'm so confident that I think I can win against them with the right preparation or at least push for a draw.

If they would play magnus all together magnus would probably lose. Those are just legends. Saying this bs is not acceptable. Look at their briliant games and style and don't look at the time they belonged to. In a person you look at one's talents and briliance and not look at the time they were born at or lived in. Chess is an amazing game and it has many great and legendary players. By saying what you said nimzo you disrespect their legacy and legendary achievments. Magnus carlsen is probably the strongest player in history because of today's engines. Since he plays the top 5 moves of what komodo or stockfish recommends. The only reason why magnus is this strong is because he has all the technology he needs to keep getting stronger and better.
I'm pretty sure Nimzo was joking ...

Back on topic, I place Anand as a vicious bunny & Tal as a ferocious penguin.
you dudes are a bunch of nutters!!!!
my definition of the above words: To be a world champion you need to have something special. I call this genious: Karpov, Botvinik, Spasky etc.
But every so often there comes a monster: Alekhine, Fischer, Kasparov......
wouold you agree? is there, realistically, such a destinction? If so where would you place the other world champions?
