Nakamura tops Fischer, though slight correction of Kasparov: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7151.
Http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7499. --Lasker and Capablanca could easily just hop into this self-same 90-year-old brouhaha. Midway Sonas intones, ''To keep you interested, let's pause for a quick trivia question. Over the past 60 years, which single year saw the lowest draw percentage in the games among top-ten players? Okay....'' (He does answer.) For follow-up trivia, the graphical representational cut-out there, ''Annual Draw Percentages,'' counts up as good 8x22 cv board. ''Percentage of Short Draws'' is visualizable 8x8, slashing 5%.

Among Americans who else, http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7707, should be placed the last 100 years with Fischer, Reshevsky and Nakamura? Interesting connection is that Reshevsky was born the year the great chess puzzlist Sam Loyd died.
