Because he doesn't know how the horsie moves.

EXACTLY!! Move #4 was retarded because of a possible 5.Ba6Smile

mkeane123

1) Capablanca

2) Morphy

3) Fischer

Note: Fischer said that Morphy was best (except for himself of course!), and both Lasker and Alekhine said Capablanca was the best. I figure those guys know a bit about the subject.

Alekhine

Karpov

Fischer

Korchnoi

Rubensein

Lasker

Botvinnik

Capablanca
