If all Chess World Champions were simultaneously alive?

I apologize for that sub-par topic. If they all lived at the same time who would be best at their peak? How many games? How might they win?

This is if they lived today with Stockfish available. I think Kasparov is the first to benefit from computers as WC. Kramnik and beyond more so.

Thoughts.

Pass the players through some sort of system like
github.com/freopen/chess-erdos
freopen.org/
rosen-score.vercel.app/

That way you can give them Rosen Trophies or a standing number. Forget the ratings ...
Use the database. The game results is all that counts and the number of Rosen trophies.

My goal is to find out the better adapter among them. You can not change the past I suppose. People wonder the GOAT of games. I suppose the world should never know.

I'd back Bobby Fischer, he had the raw IQ to be adapting, competitive attacking spirit, and phenomenal creativity. I see a young Bobby Fischer born at the same time as Magnus beating Magnus.

I am glad a human is number one in your eyes. You easily could have put Stockfish there that obliterates a human. It is taking our crowns.

this makes no sense. It's like saying a backhoe is the world's strongest man

"If all chess world champions were simultaneously alive ??"

Why ?? Is there a shortage of narcissism in this world ?

In their prime isn;t the ONLY way of Looking at it ... Take for example V Smyslov former World Chess Champion who Played in The Candidates (AGAIN) at AGE 62 @Clearchesser
