I was shocked to discover my name absent from the list.
-
Called his #1, but that just proves I watch a lot of Ben Finegold videos. Go Ben!
-
1. Ben Finegold 2. bonerici 3. Karen Boyd 4. tryingtolearn123 5. Fen Binegold
-
Morphy was my gut choice due to his total dominance of his contemporaries. Like Ben says, “How did he do it? How did he get so good?” Morphy was a chess giant in a time of midgets. His dominance was otherworldly.
-
Loved this Ben, you are ridiculously entertaining!!
-
Big thank you to Robert Venerus for sponsoring this wonderful lecture! Mind Blowing!
-
Great vid Ben, keep churning out the bangers!
-
Thanks for the lecture. Great list! I believe you were right in saying Morphy had two mate in 1s. Qe6 being the other one. (42:15)

I think a lot of the arguments about these kinds of rankings come down to the difference between "best" and "greatest". (In the lecture Ben always says "greatest", but the video title has "best".) Magnus is almost certainly the most accurate (human) chess player of all time. In the age of engines it's likely impossible for anyone to dominate like Morphy, Fischer and Kasparov did in their prime. It's still damned impressive that Magnus has managed to maintain a healthy 2800+ rating for as long as he has, given the level of competition.
-
19:52 I think Bh6+ is even more accurate, winning the exchange and completely simplifying after Kxh6 Rxf2
-
Thanks for the great video!
-
I believe I've never come across a more convincing argument for Paul Murphy's top-ranking. The analogy of a player consistently engaging with 1000 ELO opponents, how could he ever markedly distinguish himself from them; it appears to be an impossible task!
-
I wonder why Alekhine never appears on such lists. He was so ingenious.
-
One thing about Morphy's chess - His games often struck me as strokes of lightning brilliancy. He did with chess pieces what Wayne Gretzky did with a hockey puck. He could see moves that other players simply could not see.
-
Great video! Thank you!
-
The only surprise to me is that Carlsen even made Bens top 10.
-
Most people don't realize that Morphy pretty much retired from chess at 22...
-
Hi Ben, excellent list and really enjoyed the video.
-
Fantastic Video! Just found your channel, soooo good.
-
nice Thanks! great list
