    Don't forget Judit Polgar guys, the only woman here, she's such a role model and inspiration, she proved that women can hang with the best !

    The year is 1919 and in a land full of 2300 to 2600 players — which are also considered "world-class", mind you! — you are the sole, bona-fide SuperGM on a 2750+ level. Your name is JosΓ© RaΓΊl Capablanca.

    OK, so this is not FIDE ELO, but you get the idea.

    capablanca was up there for so long till death :/

    I have a feeling this graph underestimates positional geniuses like Karpov, since the engine used for estimation isn't capable of understanding the subtleties that made them great.

    Jose capablanca is like unstoppable.πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

    What would the rating of stockfish NNUE be based on this method? Infinite? πŸ˜…

    Such a retard game. Learning from engines to compete with humans and the winner who can remember the best move. Ridiculous !

    Kasparov was the player who informed me existence of a game named chess after his games againts AI Deepblue. But Tal, Fisher and Nezhmetdinov are the players who provided me to love chess.

    Mir Sultan Khan deserves a spot in this list.

    Maybe might be an argument but my fav
    1.Paul Morphy Super genius no engine
    2.B.Fischer
    3.G.Kasparov
