A historical figure has to be dead. Otherwise they're contemporary. Even if their achievements are historical.
I hope I'm not giving you any ideas ... Run Magnus!
Even though Magnus is pretty godly at chess, he did not do or be anything recognizable (chess doesn't make you popular if nobody else plays it. Also, chess is deemed as lesser than other activities, such as basketball.Also, as the chainsaw bunny said, Magnus isn't dead yet.
