A A Steinitz: Chess mensch [agt71's favorite]
Compiled by agt71

World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz is THE man as far as I am concerned. Hish highest rating was 2834 in 1877 http://chessmetrics.com/PL/PL38806.... If he were around today, he could start using the Internet on 1 February to reacquaint himself with Current Theory, and before the 28th rolled around, GM Topalov would be only #2!!!!!!!
