bot, have you seen the articles by chess statistician Jeff Sonas on
the greatest champions ever? The research that 'backsolved' GW
games using computers to show which GMs made the fewest errors (both

Kasparov (and Karpov) and Fischer (and Petrosian) to be the greatest
players ever?

Well, it's good to know that almost half the World Champions have
been the greatest players ever. Must really suck to be Steinitz (or
Alekhine) or Euwe (or Botvinnik) or Smyslov (or Tal) or Spassky (or
Kramnik).
