Default Greatest chess players ever? Capa, Kramnik, Karpov, Kasparov, *in that order* (cuz 'puters don't lie!)

This was the article I was thinking of, per my earlier post, not the
Jeff Sonas article.


That article is, frankly, junk: I'm surprised it was ever accepted for
an academic conference.

They haven't determined the strongest champion of all time: they've
determined which World Champion plays most like a crippled version of
Crafty. That's better than working out which World Champion plays
most like me but not much better. See Soren Riis's rebuttal
