Carlson is considered to be the strongest in history, because he created the highest score in history of 2,889.2 (2065,438+04), surpassing the former world chess king Kasparov's 2,856.7 (2000).
However, chess is developing after all. Without the accumulation of history, Carlson could not have reached the present height. Therefore, for the evaluation of "the strongest in history", those players who surpass their contemporaries are qualified. Chess players beyond history can be summarized as follows:
Murphy, an American, went to Europe alone as a chess center in the19th century, swept Europe and was regarded as the first unofficial world champion.
Kapablanka, a Cuban, is a former world chess king (1921–1927), who has never lost for ten years (in 1930s, no competition was one of the reasons).
Fischer, an American, is the legend of the second version of Murphy. 1972, broke through the encirclement of the Soviet Union and European masters who monopolized chess and reached the final (two scores of 6:0 were simply staggering! ), finally defeated the former Soviet chess king spassky and won the world championship.
Karpov and Kasparov, both Russians, are called "two cards". In the last two decades of the last century, they were almost invincible, and other players in various leagues usually got the third best result. The two men have experienced three world championships, and Kasparov narrowly won. For karpov, it can be said that he was "born in karpov and He Shengliang (Kasparov)". Kasparov's performance beyond the times can be said to be far beyond Carlson today.
Polga, female, Hungarian, the youngest of the three Polgar sisters, is also called Little Polga. She is the absolute number one female chess player in history. I am afraid that no female chess player will surpass Polga's achievement in this century: entering the top ten male chess players! Participated in the World Chess Championship (2005)! The ratings have been stable at 2700+ for a long time! She only participates in men's chess competitions and other public competitions, which are far beyond the reach of Hou Yifan, the current world chess champion of women. The first official match (slow chess) between Hou Yifan and George W. Polga was the Gibraltar Open at 20 12, and Hou Yifan finally won the Sicilian defense easily. 20/KLOC-In August, 2004, when Hou Yifan was about to surpass her, she chose to retire. Of course, this should not be the main reason for her retirement. )。
I hope it helps you.
