-Magnus🗿

[adisharma]

Bruh caliing vishy a historical player is a

[rreyv]

Vishy is still around yo. Go play him!

[usamadgheim]

No one says the one and only Mikhail Tal

[mikan]

Lei Tingjie really said "THE FUTURE IS NOW, OLD MAN"

[za]

Set up a chance for Lei to play Vishy because none of the others' dreams are possible

[JJBAB]

Seems like Lei is a very big fan of Vishy..

[reversal]

With all due respect but I feel the editing is a little overkill, I don’t mind the memes but this feels like it takes away from the video a bit.

[TomFarrow-oowm]

Vishy is a violation, she still could play him, he's active and still 11th in the world.

[EgoJinpachi_]

I remember watching this question was asked to Magnus and he said Capablanca

[GMPranav]

Vishy is literally commentating her game lmao, I am sure he will be down from some blitz.

[rishimishra]

There is no doubt in this, Fischer's name will echo through centuries.

[JamesJoyce]

Bobby will still be a legend a century from now when all the current super-GM's are relegated to the bin.
Longest winning streak ever and greatest Elo differential are two boss moves.

[sirtrix.]

1. Tal
2. Capablanca
3. Morphy
4. Fischer
5. Lasker
6. One of the inventors of chess (or main contributors)

[akshaypanchal]

For official fide, thats really good editing

[huntermach]

Fisher with Stockfish prep would be levels above than he was back then.

[Bruh-bkyo]

Nobody says Mikhail Tal because they're afraid to lose😂

[j.f.]

Morphy, Capablanca, Keres, Khan, Tal would all be interesting to see play today's strongest players.

[emiliogonzalez]

That was a call out! Come on FIDE set it up!
