I watched Ben Finegold's top 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdLZmsaOs4I, nd it was great, but something felt off. He's always said that the way you know how good someone is is by the length of their Wikipedia article, and yet here he is talking about their chess games. So I guess it's up to me to get to the truth.

All data was gotten today 2023-11-14 via https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=query&list=search&srsearch=bobby%20fischer&srlimilace bobby fischer with whoever else), and I just manually entered lots of chess players so it's possible I missed some.
