    What Famous Player are You Most Like?

    Chessplayer Personality Selector

         Have you ever wondered what famous chess player you most resemble? Of course you have. So here’s a test that will tell you. My result says I am most like Botvinnik and that was no surprise!
         One of the first chess books I ever had and one of two that I can honestly say got thoroughly read was Botvinnik’s 100 Selected Games. The second was like it, Reshevsky’s Best Games; I wore the cover off both books; they were the only ones that ever got that much use. 
     
    Botvinnik 100%
    Deep Blue 89%
    Morphy 89%
    Steinitz 81%
    Spassky 77%
    Karpov 66%
    Kramnik 66%
    Kasparov 58%
    Short 54%
    Nimzovich 43%
    Capablanca 39%
    Alekhine 39%
    Tahl 27%
    Fischer 27%
    Lasker 24%
    Anand 0%
