For those who are interested, here is the last of a good series of articles on the best chess players. Links at the bottom go to the previous three articles.

My personal observation is that Fischer was considered world champion for three years, but Morphy was considered world champion until his death 24 years after playing real chess. And one match in 33 years against a player not ranked in the top 100 is hardly considered adequate title defense. I might suggest being less defensive about it considering that only one chess genius shares your views.
