This is incomplete without Hans Nieman at 3600

Unfortunately, because of the way that the elo system works, a person's rating is only relative to the strength of other players at the time. Regardless, it's still an interesting list :)

[mattyb]

Bobby Fischer had a massive gulf between him and his peers when it came to elo, which is a measure of your strength relative to competition. An interesting one would be largest difference between number one and number two over time... Fischer, Kasparov, Magnus.

[AnandSivaram]

I like how Vishy and Vlad are tied at the same peak elo, two great champions of the game, great personalities and so little to differentiate between them..

[BrianSWG]

Crazy Alireza wasnt even on this list a year ago, then he blasted through everyone and went to 2804 from 2700 in a year!!

[mattyberenblut]

Ratings work by showing how good someone is relative to other players of the time. You can't compare ratings between years. Better would be highest rating difference between top players

[arunvasudevan]

Man, fabi gets overlooked. For a while this dude was Carlsen’s equal in classical chess

[alanchamorro]

Thanks... I heard about some of them, didn't know they were thaaat good

[bykegetter]

0:41 What happened with the rank 9? lol

[tycxxn]

weird this is already in recommendations. goodluck with the algorithm. the fact that its already 378 views means most likely the vid will explode. goodluck bro.

[mubarkqardas]

If you account for elo inflation Bobby Fischer being 2785 in 1972 is equivalent to someone being 3000 today...

[leeshepherd]

Rating isn't everything, if you make chess all about the numbers you kill the beauty in it and what's the humanity in that? Chess is more than math, it's art. If you run Tal, Morphy or even Nezhmetdinov games through today's best engines, some of their moves make no sense to the computer, but despite their opponents playing engine moves in response their brilliance reveals itself in ways that are to be admired even today. They walked so these men could fly

Here w/ 350 views! 🥳 going to 100k views someday, it’s pretty obvious

[ramenmahapatra]

The amount of super gm available for magnus to live upon was immense 😅

[Randomstopmotions]

I have a feeling all of the ideo was done in powerpoint (maybe except the last slide)

[soumyajitroy]

Tbh Fischer, Tal and Kasparov should be in all time 3 as they achieved sky high rating in those days and if they played in modern days easily they would have crossed 2800(Tal and Fischer)

[southernlyrics]

But hikaru said, his highest rate in chess us 3233 or something like that . Someone please explain to me, I'm new at chess channel so I didn't know much about rating and tournament

[rextheysay]
