1. Botvinnik (for being the only one to win a WCH match with it)
2. Korchnoi (for being the only other one to almost win a WCH match using it (if only a little))
3. Short
4. Morozevich (for singlehandedly reviving about 42 sidelines of the opening)
5. Portisch (for being as influential as Uhlmann... and actually good)

Poor Uhlmann, who only reached #17 in the world.  If only he had been actually good ...

I'm kinda busy this week, but I'll try to retally the votes now that we have quite a few new entries.  It seems that Volkov has suffered the most in the minds of the publicans in the last 5 yrs while Portisch seems to have surged.
