Best Chess Players

Don't do this to Karpov. Karpov is a broooooo!

I agree @wolfpacks

Btw, world champions of all time:
Capablanca (1921-1927)
Tal (1960-1961)
Fischer (1972-1975, too scared to play Karpov)
Karpov (1975-1985)
Carlsen (2013-2017)

Obviously, this doesn’t tell us “who’s the best of all time”, but still is useful. I could make another basketball reference, but what’s the point?

Down with Fischer! Up with Carlsen!

Mikhail Tal - 8
Magnus Carlsen - 13
Anatoly Karpov - 6
