The "tactician" underestimates Alekhine's greatness. Yes, he was an
attacking player, but I'd rather describe him as the "brilliant".

I wanna stay with nouns though. The tactician, especially under that
very sharp picture of him, does him justice I think.

As Chess GM who tainted Chess History with his version of Five Queens Game
(My Best Games of Chess 1908-1923 between Grigoriev and him) that couldn't
be the possible cause for you to justify The Tactician? Mind you this was
not the only case there had been few before and still some afterward by
different players (not disrespect to any truthful Chess Proponent).

....I pee onto you!!!

What about Fischer as 'lone star'?
Petrosian - 'Great Chinese Wall'
Karpov is definitely 'constrictor', Alekhine is 'dynamite'.
Kasparov is 'Supernova' - his energe is endless!

True, and I think that was on my shortlist when I was putting the
nicknames together. I really like "the fighter" for Kasparov though.
Along the same lines and maybe even better for Lasker is "the battler"
or "the survivor".


I don't think if Karpov as a technician. I like themetaphor I once
heard Spassky use for him, which was the player Karpov is like

playing

a python -- he just keeps squeezing your position until you have
nothing contructive to do. So I'd nickname Karpov the "constrictor."


That's really good, but it doesn't stand alone without the analogy I
think.


I don't know that Fischer was any more of a genius than any other

great

champion. In fact, Capablanca might have been a greater chess

genius.

But Fischer was capable of both incredibly great chess and incredibly
unpredictable behavior. I'd nickname him the "mercurial".


Yea, he's been referred to as "the fanatic" which is fitting, but I
thought it had too much of a negative connotation. "the genius" sort of
implies the problems away from the board, like a 'troubled genius'.

As for Kasparov, I see him as combining tremendous natural talent

with

tremendous fighting spirit over the board and tremendous dedication

to

analysis away from the board. I can't think of a one-word nickname

for

this combination. What's a combination of a genius, fighter, and
scientist? Perhaps we should call him the "pinnacle".


Thanks to everyone who responded!
Very good suggestions... I really like the pinnacle, the benchmark, and
especially "the greatest", but I don't want to be disrespectful of the
other greats. "The fighter" might be best... but I'll probably just
leave it as a question mark for now. Looking at the current chess
scene, and the FIDE mess, I do see him as possibly the last in a line
of great champions.

Making fun of mentally disabled is un-ethical.
