Among Americans who else,
http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7707, should be placed the
last 100 years with Fischer, Reshevsky and Nakamura?
Interesting connection is that Reshevsky was born the year the great chess puzzlist Sam Loyd died. As of the 1964 article Chessbase notes here, Fischer himself at 21 names Morphy, Steinitz, Reshevsky, and Capablanca all norteamericanos in the top all-time ten.  In the sixties there was slow acknowledgement of Russian dominance the premier mind-sport; even Bobby's mother Regina married and studied in Moscow.  Probably now only Capablanca and Morphy would rate that way top-ten, considering also their time -- to make room for the Karpov and the Kasparov at very top.

Draw on all quarters.  And they would have, that there are several ways left to accept Draws so many not unentertaining. 6 Wins and 24 Draws are not out of left field but ghoulish centre-stage Tal Memorial main event. What other Sport has no major recent tournament 'decisives' outnumbering 'draw'?

Http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7499. --Lasker and
Capablanca could easily just hop into this self-same 90-year-old
brouhaha.  Midway Sonas intones, ''To keep you interested, let's pause for a quick trivia question.  Over the past 60 years, which single year saw the lowest draw percentage in the games among top-ten players? Okay....''  (He does answer.)
For follow-up trivia, the graphical representational cut-out there, ''Annual Draw Percentages,'' counts up as good 8x22 cv board.
''Percentage of Short Draws'' is visualizable 8x8, slashing 5%.
