No you didn't.
I even gave the choice of Champions to choose from :roll:
Laskers's strategic genius? Capablanca's simplicity? Alekhine's combinations? Fisher's great all around? Karpov's positional style? Kasparov positional and combination style? or Magnus Carlsen Highest rated player of all times?
Do NOT worry and be happy, we all live a short life :roll:

Maybe Bronstein but he never was official World Champion. - But it shouldn't be seen detached from their era each, anyway. Like Carlsen versus Morphy, what do you think? It would even be disrespectful to invite Morphy to such a slaughtering...
