Question by Max: Who do you think is the best chess player ever?
Well, today we have records and computers that tell us who was the best. Im happy and proud to say that we Cubans gave the world the greatest chess player in the world. I will explain why, let me just start by mentioning that the book dummies for chess have Capablanca as the greatest.
Go to wikepedia…look at comparing chess player tru history,,,,1978 Elo System..Capablanca number 1.
Who made the least mistakes acording to analyzed cumputers, was Capablanca.
Who was the only player not to lose a single game in 8 years…Capablanca.
Who lost the least games in chess…check it out…Capablanca lost the least games among champions, when you reply,,,dont give opinions,,,give facts…Capablanca record wich i have seen is much better than Bobby Fisher’s.
Talk about facts and records, not opinions.
Jesse…very funny, I guess you not that brite and have no knowledge of Chess.
Imaka…so..you don,t think he was the best ever,,,,who is the best according to you?
Hi, Toni
I respect your opinion, but your not giving me facts, in order to find out who the best player was, we need to talk about records. I looked once at the record and all chess champions in the world lost more games than capablanca, you might not know this, look it up, Capablanca played the most perfect chess among champions, this is in Wikepedia, look it up, computers analyzed this. The only player not to lose a game in 8 years. The only way you can come out with an answer is to check the records, not opinions. Most of you reply with opinions. Dummies for chess book,,,have Capablanca as the greates player…because he dominated chess like no other player…thanks for your answer..bye
Forgot to say, Kasparov and Karpov lost more games than Capablanca, I looked at the records, does it make sense to say that they are better, when they lost more games? I don,t think so. Look at records, they all can be found here in the internet. Most people say,,the best was Fisher, the best was Lasker, the best was Karpov, but they have no clue about there records and all chess records, thats what counts.
WHOEVER WROTE THE BOOK DUMMIES FOR CHESS, HAS THE PROPER ANSWER TO MY QUESTION, THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD IS THE STRONGEST PLAYER IN HIS PRIME. THAT IS WHY IN THE BOOK HI SAYS CAPABLANCA AS THE GREATEST.
IN CASE YOU GUYS DON,T KNOW, CAPABLANCA PLAYED CHESS FOR 30 YEARS, HE ONLY LOST 34 GAMES. ACORDING TO CHESS RECORDS,,,,LOOK IT UP HERE,, HE LOST THE LEAST GAMES AMONG WORLD CHAMPIONS, ONLY ONE NOT TO LOSE A GAME IN 8 YRS, THIS IS WHY HE WAS THE STRONGEST PLAYER AMONG ALL CHAMPIONS. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I CHECKED THE RECORD AND KARPOV AS WELL AS KARPOV LOST MORE GAMES THAN CAPABLANCA, HOW COME?…IF ACORDING TO SOME OF YOU HE WAS THE GREATEST PLAYER….WHY DID HE LOST MORE GAMES?……..THIS DOESN,T MAKE ANY SENSE….MOST OF YOU HAVE NO KNOLEDGE OF RECORDS, THEY ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU TO SEE,,,BYE NOW
Victor….im trying to be fair and partial.
A few months ago I looked at Bobby Fisher’s record, no comparison with Capablanca…If I recall, Mr. Fisher only won 3 or 4 International Turnaments, Capablanca was like 6. If you think that Mr. Fisher was better than Capablanca, why did he lost more games than Capa.
Why Mr. Fisher didn’t spend 8 years without losing a game like Capablanca.
My friend, now we know who play perfect chess among chess Champions, look it up on Wikepedia, don,t take my word for it…..Computers analyzed all chess Champions in the world and Capablanca was the one who made the least mistakes among all world Champions..
Victor….you giving me your opion, and I respect it, Im not giving you my opionion, these are facts. I imagine the guy who wrote dummies for chess knows more about this game than you and me,,,,he said that Capablanca was the greatest,,,cause he dominated chess like no other champion….and im sure the writer is not cuban like us.
Take care,bye
What the writer who wrote dummies for chess said,,makes a lot of sense. Whoever was the strongest player should be the greatest player in the world, the answer is Jose Raul Capablanca,,,,any single player that any of you mention,,,,lost more games than Capablanca….I looked at it,,,,is all here on the net….Karpov..kasparov..and Robert Fisher…they all lost more games than Capablanca……….
Borris Sparky said that Capablanca was the greatest player ever.
Modesty aside, I guess most of you have no clue about chess records, not that I know much about it, records are facts. If you said that such and such player is better, laid down the facts. I am the only one so far talking about facts. Now that Im thinking about it, if the computer said that Capablanca was the player who made the least mistakes, that means that most likely he will beat any other player, cause they all made more mistakes…..guys…look it up on Wikepedia….they studied all players and declared that Capablanca made the least mistakes………so far I don,t have a good answer…someone who laids down the facts about who should be the greates player of all time..
You are write,,,,Bobby Fisher is among the greatest,,,but you have to look at the player’s record,,not only cause he won at 14,,,,look at the whole picture, how many international tournaments, how many wins and lost games, etc..etc…Im sure most people in Russia, will say one of the K guys,,,and those of you from usa will say Bobby Fisher,,,,,,is just the way it is.
Hi TQX
WHY KASPAROV LOST MORE GAMES THAN CAPABLANCA? WHY DIDN,T HE SPEND 8 YEARS WITHOUT LOSING A SINGLE GAME, WHY DID HE MAKE MORE MISTAKES THAN CAPABLANCA,,,DON,T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT,,IS HERE ON WIKEPEDIA……..IM STILL NOT GETTING SOMEONE WHO TALKS ABOUT RECORDS AND FACTS.
