In other sports there are some parameters you can use as standards with which to judge; timing I running, goals in football, games won in tennis and so forth
What could we use in chess? I do not know. And have read little about a âbestâ player. Authors, I think, go by their âfeelingsâ
Personally I would vote for Capablanca. Parameter? His serenity, his complete comprehension of the game.
Interesting to see what other âchessonthewebâ friends will say.
