Tal is obviously the most handsome , then lets talk Judit Polgar , after that well , uggerleee is the only word that fits , esp carlsen , this is him before he faces the world
Rank World Champions from most physically attractive to least

There's Khalifman... there's Topalov... there's Kramnik... but there is not any name of him who beaten three of them.... Where's the name of Viswanathan Anand... Mr. General Knowledge ?? I believe he is handsome than Topalov at least
My apologies, I forgot Anand! I have corrected my initial post, he certainly belongs in the top 10!
Where would Caruana rank?
My five cents:
Definitely Capablanca, Smyslov, Tal (young), Fischer, Kasparov, Anand, Kramnik.
Maybe Euwe, Botvinnik, Spassky, Carlsen.
Rather not Steinitz, Lasker, Alekhine, Petrosian, Karpov. Still I doubt the latter had difficulties getting women - genius makes sexy, more than looks.
UPDATED with Ding Liren! I also moved up Tal, when he was a young world champion he was a bit of a player lol.
Did I get it right? Let me know!

U can take these off the list since they were never real world champions. They only won a tournament.. Except for Ding, he never won the candidates tournament. FIDE called them world champions for marketing reasons because the real champion wasn't interested in dealing with fide but he was still the best in the world. Same with Ding Liren. Nice guy & all & everyone felt sorry for him but come on, does anyone really think The Magster isn't still the best player in the world? Heck, Ding has never even won the candidates. He just got lucky & was allowed to play Nepo & then got lucky again & won a speed game to be called champion but never even qualified to play a legit title match. It's almost as unjust as when Kasparov played somebody other than Shirov I think it was. Was it Kramnik he picked even though Shirov won the matches to qualify?
Anyway, there aren't 21 real world champions.
The best player doesn't always win the world championship... take a look at the NBA, NFL, etc - the best teams often lose in the playoffs and an "inferior" team gets the title.
FIDE, the official body of chess, recognizes all these guys as world champions and so they are. Lucky or not.

I think Lasker and Tal should be higher. I've never seen a photo of Ponomariov (who?)
You *do* realize that you're judging DUDES' looks, right?? [EDIT-4K] abuse
