	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 ). 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. I'll give my own vote and explanation in a couple of days.)
