Did you know who the computers think is the strongest chess player of all time?

While it’s no surprise that Magnus and Kasparov took first and second, the real shocker was the man in third: Fischer

Why this is so crazy is due to how this was judged: the more engine moves played, the higher the player appears on the list.

Only… engines didn’t exist in Fischers day. He was playing engine lines without ever looking at an engine. Now a days players can get through the opening and even the middle game just using moves from a computer.

But still, even without it Fischer outranked modern legends like Nepomniachtchi and Anand.

@ChessbaseIndia But Magnus for sure a class act.

Langar þig að eignast Horfnar? Ég er kominn í jólaskap og ætla að gefa tvö eintök, árituð eftir ósk vinningshafana. Retweet, og þú ert kominn í pottinn. Dregið úr nöfnum þeirra sem Retweeta eftir næstu helgi ❤🌲

Þegar ég var að stíga á brunnlok í París og það lyftist skyndilega og fólk með bakpoka skreið upp úr ræsinu.
