After re watching the youtube video on page 34,
have to say I regret my downvote of Kasparov, considering the "relative to their peers" part of thread. He didn't deserve that...
Paul Morphy, Kasparov, Steinitz, Carlson, really stand out... Let's hope Carlsen can keep it up, and not do a "Fischer" on us...
But I don't regret my upvote of Fischer, he reigned for a long time, even though he was so young, and his brilliancy cannot be doubted. A true genius. I think he's the kind of guy, that, if he had focused on anything else, he would have dominated it as well. Just pure brain power.
Now that I went through the video a few times it only strengthened me in that Petrosian, Tal and Anand are suspects. If I questioned Morphy's legitimacy due to lack of established and regular competition then what about Philidor.
Really legitimate people are Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Karpov, Kasparov. Among Karpov and Kasparov however I think Kasparov stands out.
