I have to know if this list was actually in your head, or if you looked up this info... 'cuz seriously... if these are your favorites, that means you know about more than these...
...which just ain't right.
Of course I know of more than these.. do you have any idea how many chess masters there have been?
I don't apologize for my knowledge of chess history... some people spend their free time watching the Cubs!
Ooohhhh... that was low.
I only know Bobby fischer and my brother - who won a trophy in chess in one of the first Awana Varsity Games!
Yeah, i was personally a bit offended I didn't make the list. My two claims to chess fame, winning the Awana Games and beating my uncle, thus ending hsi chess playing career, are still being talked about. I'm a household name.
Which household is that?
Ending his career? Jeff's uncle seems to remember another game taking place right after the one he mentions that had a somewhat different outcome.
But Jeff's uncle is highly flattered that he is the accepted standard for success, chesswise.
