I was pondering today about the greats, such as Euwe, Lasker, Tal, Karpov, Kasparov and so many more, and I remembered several interesting threads in the forums about the greatest of all time. But now I was wondering about who the community thinks is the greatest player on this site... I know most people consider rating, but Id rather you consider the entire package, as in not only strong rating, but tournament victories, amount of moves all time, how active the player is presently, does he/she post often, do they lend advice to lower rated players, do they share their skill to the outmost. I would really like to hear some thoughts on this please, I am going to take sometime to consider my own choice since there are so many strong candidates. Who would you pick as the greatest player on the site of all time?

MotownDave - User 141598

One of the highest rated players with the lowest amount of moves. Very rarely posted in the Public forums but quite active in Private Clans. Likeable character with a great sense of humour, never arrogant about his chess ability and always willing to offer advice and tips if you asked.

Why should I emulate a player on this site when I can go on chesslab and download the games of a great? The truth is that the best players on this site are good but they are by-and-large decent FMs.

Whether they are FM's or AM's, disc jockeys need love too!! Is it too much to ask that you emulate one of them?
