Steinitz is much cooler than Morphy


But time-traveling Morphy is cooler than Steinitz.

Capablanca.


My theory here is Capablanca changed his name to remind people of Casablanca, which was a cool movie. Of course, my theory rejects chronology.Laughing

Bogie is cool. Fischer is cold and malnourished at this point. Pdela thinks he's cool, which is just tragic


Though I have to give it to him: that guy on the picture he posted does look pretty cool. If that's him I don't think Hou wins by default.

I don't think it is unlikely at all that a guy like that would comment on a chess forum. Posting the picture is odd though!


That guy is not pdela.


how do you dare!

For people new to chess, there is no "time-traveling Morphy".

Leko? Leko! And somehow I forgot Kramnik he's the ultimate chess bad-ass. And that I had to reserve the first 100 spots for Ivanchuk.

Campione

The one and only Vassily 'positional queen sac followed by staring at the ceiling followed by drunken singsong followed by emotional retirement announcement followed by more offhand chess genius normal people can only dream about a few weeks later' Ivanchuk

For those new to chess, Morphy did not have "engines implanted in his brain".

Vegeta threatens Goku for planning to leave before their match. The image shows the height difference between the two Saiyan warriors.

I really, really hope you mean that as in, "I don't like Barca," rather than, "Barca can't play futbol."

Anyway, Tal, Judit Polgar top my list.  Never knew about Hou.  Will look into her games!

Thanks!


She's like some 16 year old genius! She just made it to the second round of the women's world chess championship, and her games are really neat!Smile

The definitions of "cool" and "chess player" are antithetical, as this thread demonstrates. Learn to embrace your nerdiness. I did, and I'm a ...happy guy now.
