How come Fischer is the world number 1 in 1961? It doesn't look right to claim that he was so much stronger than Petrosjan or Spassky at that time when he was just 18
Morph ♥️
Imagine play at 2800 ELO in 1918, Casablanca is just something else
No one reached 3000 🙁 Would have been so satisfying, so close xD
Kasparov and above all assisted by computers, Fischer was pure talent
Kasparov and above all assisted by computers, Fischer was pure talent
Fischer (2900+), then Morphy/Carlsen (2882) imo.
The sheer dominance of Capablanca over his peers 😯😯😯
All of them, the same accuracy!
Hey everyone, i released a video about Bobby's Fischer life story, would appreciate some feedback 🙂
The period of soviet domination in the chess world is so interesting. Just producing top class players again and again and again. And then Bobby there's Bobby Fisher sticking out lol
why is the framerate so bad in this video?
1** Morphy
1.Tal
2.Fisher
3. Kasparov
4. Carlsen
5. Ivanchuk
You don't even say what you do, and how you do it. This is a sinister farce, without any real value
If Capa spend more time studying opening and middlegame: 3000
So much respect for Judit Polgar.
Lovely
It's crazy to see how dominating icons like paul Morphy and capablanca were
Edit: also interesting to see just how much some great players' accuracy could fluctuate over their career. Just seeing it plummet is such a surreal (but ofc logical) thing
Edit2: oh wow that Fischer spike was mad too
Here's a question:
Given how wildly different the chess of the 1800s was to that of today, is it fair to say that many of these greats of their time might have had trouble figuring out how to win in today's meta game? By this I mean, maybe someone had a high accuracy because the opponents they played against in the 1800s didn't have the skills that we might expect someone to have today, leading to better seeming games because they had "figured things out" that wouldn't be common knowledge or practice until later. . .

Where is tal
Paul Morphy remains the best of all times as it seems.
I like how Bobby Fischer left the screen by zooming off UPWARDS. He just ascended to a higher level of existence.
It would help if we could actually see the chart. Did you look at this or what?
I love the Capablanca graph
Imagine reaching 2900 worth of accuracy without computer aid.
Fischer and Kasparov are on a different level.
One name: BOBBY FISCHER!!!
Fischer ascended
Both Morphy and Fischer — inarguably the best players, both went into a boobyhatch arc.
its wierd no body talk about garry kasparov
Morphy go out alone nobody beat him😂😂😂
САPABLANCA🤩🤩🤩
5:11 ##1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 names start with almost the same letters: K(c)A(R/ra)
The fact that everyone in the video died and will die it's so sas
Totally different question as the other comments here:
What's the music playing? Anyone knows?
Shazam doesn't pick it up
Fischer 🤩
Capablanca dominanted the game for years !!!
Funny to see 1400 elo players explaining why most of the legendary players in history of chess were overrated. 🙂
imaginary is your concept of reality
The only innovations in chess these days come when there’s a new version of stockfish.
Just goes to show, if your last name is Pillsbury you can be number one at chess, but no one will remember you for anything except your baking.
I want a simul of everyone who reached above 2900 at their peak
ben finegold is missing there
The most impressive to me is Capablanca. Dominance over such a long period of time, coming back in 1939 is unbelievable.
Is Nepo not on here?
tal peaked above Fischer in 1965
i was once higher rated than andersson
I wish the y axis would stay a bit more still, it got pretty confusing to know how strong anyone actually was
2013-2022 Carles wich basically the best player of all time decided to live his crown in the lack of motivation
One of the best graphs I have ever seen.
