The worst world champion of all time: Max Euwe? Smyslov?

we've all heard of the BEST world champion, but who was the WORST?

Not kasparov, for kasparov was a nemesis to satan himself. 

Therefore it had to be, by a process of elimination, 

NOT

capablanca (thinking machine)

alekhine (attacking whiz)

Smyslov (calculator)

Lasker (positional master)

Tal, Botvinnik, Karpov, all above board

Fischer, certainly one of the top three best champs

Therefore we are left with Steinitz or Euwe

Steinitz may have been a poor chessplayer, like a monkey examining a watch, but he cant be blamed, his opposition was also weak, he had patzers, (or monkeys) like rubinstein to challenge him, no wonder his elo never went above 600 -800 regardless of how many games he won- 

therefore 

EW. 

Euwe, the worst world champion of all time.

Somebody said the dude was a boxer for netherlands. He should probably have stayed a boxer. He couldnt beat alekhine in his unprime (inverse of prime)

 

EBowie

Probably Steinitz

Carlsen, in winning positions he plays to draw. Weak.
