zyce United States649 Posts October 01 2011 13:49 GMT #146 Magnificent post. Thanks for the crazy-good read. I really enjoy the comparisons between Chess and Brood War as I grew up a wannabe Chess player that turned to Brood War. Thanks for continued awesomeness. Edit: For those interested, you should watch "Searching for Bobby Fischer" which inspired the title to this blog.

chocorush 694 Posts October 01 2011 14:41 GMT #151 Nice article, but I disagree with some of the choices. If you consider the analogy as an evolution of how the game works, as opposed to how long players were dominant, Boxer would be Andersson and Nada would be Morphy. These two hail back to a more romantic period of chess focusing a lot more on aggression than the current state of the game would find viable. Oov should probably be Lasker. While his strategic contribution was as influential as Steinitz, in opening the age of macro, Oov actually won. Lasker played an extremely psychological style, and was known for making a lot of "Bad moves," which we know now to be far ahead of his time as strong examples of positional play. Flash should probably be Deep Blue.

Talin Montenegro10532 Posts October 01 2011 15:26 GMT #153 Among the more "recent" chess players in OP, Bisu's counterpart is the only one I've never heard of (not being much of a follower of the game admittedly). That alone is depressing. But anyway, awesome post.

eoLithic Norway221 Posts October 01 2011 16:21 GMT #156 So cool how a norwegian kid is ranked nr1 in the world of chess and started owning it up at the age of 15. Magnus Carlsen fighting!

kilergrunt United States263 Posts October 01 2011 16:42 GMT #157 Wow sAviOr was (and forever will be) my favorite bw player and Bobby Fischer has always been my favorite chess icon. I never really thought about the similarities they have.
