Subject: Question about Rating and Morphy.
In Warriors of the Mind (1989) by Keene and Divinsky an attempt was made to compare the playing strength of masters from different times. But such a project must not be taken too seriously. You have to make a lot of assumptions to establish a basis for you calculations, and in some cases, like Morphy's, the material is rather sparse.
Their final list:
1. Kasparov
2. Karpov
3. Fischer
4. Botvinnik
5. Capablanca
6. Lasker
7. Korchnoi
8. Spasski
9. Smyslov
10. Petrosian
11. Morphy

Hey this blog is not about columbus health insurance. Silly internet bringing me here :-) Funny I have been doing hours of research on columbus health insurance and it brought me to your blog on Strongest Players of All Time?. The web plays funny games sometimes. Anyways, I was reading your blog Rob and I think it is really cool. Keep up the great work.
If you do not mind I will snag your blog and put it in my favorites. I read a ton of stuff on here that interested me. Keep blogging away :-)
