if prawny is so good why did he lose to Gaeth_Smith rating 1645?!
good enough to have the guts to play one with that rating and not care what you think (no offense) I have it on good word he is one of the best ever.
Top 10 Chess Players ever
Sort:
Kasparov 1st 8
Capablanca 2nd 6
Alekhine 3rd 4
Carlsen 3rd 4
Fischer 4th 5
Karpov 4th 5
Anand 5th 2
Morphy 6th 3
Lasker 7th 3
Botvinnik 8th 2
Tal 9th 2
Kramnik 10th 1
Topalov 10th 1
Lasker 11th 2
Korchnoi 12th 1
Rubensein 13th 1
Smyslov 14th 1
Now i think:
WHO ARE KORCHNOI,RUBENSEIN,SMYSLOV!
Smyslov = World Champion
Korchnoi = Played twice for the title and thought by many to be the strongest player never to have won the title.
Rubensein = Look up Akiba Rubinstein
thx

You included them in your list without knowing who they were, or whether they were GM+?
I don't get the "+" in GM+.
GM like isn't there GM1 or 1GM

For the record, I was simply quoting one of 1plus1is3's requirements as posted by him.
"well im not accepting. Must be GM+."
I don't know what it means either.
Carlsen
Comparing players from the past with players from the present or close to present is extremely biast towards the players of today.
Kasparov got to see over 700 Capablanca games.
Capablanca got to see 0 Kasparov games.
Kasparov had a computer to spar against as well as players, as well as the ability to analyze his games with computer engines.
Capablanca had only other players to play with, no computer assisted training.
If we took a time machine, and grabbed Capablanca in his prime, then brought him to the world of today. Then we showed him a database of the current top players games... Then we showed him how to play against a computer, and use one to analyze games... I feel Capablanca given a couple of years to catch up would be the greatest player of all times with Kasparov a close 2nd.
1) Capablanca (+ a time machine & a little training)
2) Kasparov
3) Kramnik tie
3) Anand tie
3) Carlsen tie
3) Topalov tie
7) Fischer
8) Karpov
9) Morphy
10) Chuck Norris, but only b/c people are afraid to get beat up if he loses
