Levon Aronian is always laughing and so chill in post-game press conferences whether he wins or loses. That dude has to be a stoner. I'd definitely pick him.
If You Could Go to Dinner with Any Chess Player, Who'd You Pick?
Sort:
Is it just for dinner or...you know.. the other part..

BOBBY FISCHER he's the first ever 2700+ player ever, he was knowledgeable about sports like baseball, tennis etc, he had an interesting personality, was a genius with an 180 iq and had a sense of humor. I've read 3 of his biographies and he sounds the most interesting... I'd ask him about the 1972 championship and about Spassky. I'd also ask him how he got to be so good at a young age.
Second would be Garry Kasparov because he also has an 180 iq as well and was the first 2800 plus, that I know of. He also is politically active and Russia and we could discuss that at dinner too!
#post 1 listed top 3, i can only think of two:
1) nezhmetdinov, rashid
on his life as a child,
2) mir sultan khan
on his life as a servant,

i wouldn't go to dinner with someone just because he/she is a chess player. i'd hate to talk about chess over a meal.
Carmen Kass plays chess. She was Estonian chess federation president 👌

going with Capablanca might not be a good idea, the restaurant would fill up with dogs and it would be a challenge to keep the skeleton upright on the chair.

I'd pick someone who has an endless supply of stories and amusing anecdotes. Andrew Soltis and Jeremy Silman are the two that immediately come to mind.

I was hoping to find that someone had picked the exact same person for the exact same reason as myself. Bravo! :')

Nobody seems to have mentioned najgrunfeld.
Maybe Jeremy Silman.
