worldchamps nicknames - 2006/06/01 10:09 wondering- do all the world champions have nicknames?
does Kramnik? Kasparov "monster with 1000 eyes" or "beast from Baku", those are good ones. Karpov? Fischer? Spassky? Petrosian "Tiger" but anything else? Tal "magician from Riga" another good one. Smyslov?
Botvinnik? Euwe? Alekhine? Capablanca "The Machine" or something like that? Lasker? Steinitz? Surely they all must have had somesort of cool nicknames, thanks if anyone can fill in the many blanks....

It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.

re:worldchamps nicknames - 2006/06/01 11:31 all I stated was that I didn't think that Poe and Morphy were alike in many ways except that they were both geniuses and maybe that is resemblence enough.
i would have thought that Morphy was more like Hawthorn or Melvillle..

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I am confused as to why you voice your concerns in this thread rahter than in the original thread.
Thus I am also curious as to why you think that resembnlance between peoplke resides only in their mode of death!.

I think and think for months and years, ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
