Haven't we already tried this?  We even asked if Anand should be included since he was the FIDE world champion for an afternoon...

Hi all!

Ok, here's a new poll (and no Glenn, it isn't who's the tallest GM or any other "objective" measure Tongue).

We've all heard arguments that player X is the greatest player never to have been World Champion.  Here's your chance to chime in.  If you chose option 10, please give us a reason and who you'd vote for.  Sorry, MNb, I didn't think Rudolph Spielmann was great enough to make the list.   Sad  I'll give my own vote and explanation in a couple of days.)
