Question

Who do you think is the greatest chess player of all times?

Answer 1

Bobby Fischer

Answer 2

A lot of people will say Bobby Fischer because that's the only person they know, but generally Garry Kasparov was, in his prime, considered to be the greatest chess player of all time.

Edit: Not necessarily a source because I stated the answer from memory, but wikipedia sums up top chess players fairly well, and it's an interesting article.

Answer 6

Everyone will say Bobby Fischer and they may be right.  But I encourage you to Google search Susan, Judit, and Sophia Polgar, 3 sisters from Hungary who are competing and taking the chessworld by storm.  I honestly think that Susan Polgar is doing more for the game of chess than Fischer ever did.
