Steinitz created a whole theory on positional chess but Rubinstein was the
one who best incorporated his ideas into practice, however Steinitz probably
achieved in chess more than Rubinstein.

So would you say that the Greeks are greater? Would that mean the an
Alekhine or a Nimzovitch is a greater player/talent than a Fischer or
Kasparov?



I haven`t written about those specific chessplayers but of course
Alekhine and Kasparov achieved in chess as a sport more than Herr
Fischer who quitted chess at an early age of 29. And of course
Nimzowitch achieved in chess as a sport less than those three guys
although as a predecessor he has had a great impact on Herr Fischer and
Kasparov but I think Alekhine had even a greater impact than Nimzo. :-)

I believe Alekhines "creative" work ethic is unique in chess. He
developed not only a theory but also applied the theory to great effect.
