And Short too is a tactician primarily - agreed?

Rebel IMO is the best all-rounder - Fischer?

Ferret?  There is something very irritating to me about Ferret's style as an
opponent: it is well-named IMO (I mean this in the most complimentary sense).
Who fits?

Kittinger's programs?   I would say Tal maybe - attack/sacrifice, sometimes
unsound

Nimzo?  (I do not have it)

DB II?  (I do not have it yet)

VCC?  :-)

Kittinger's programs?


And... available super-GMs include:

Philidor
Morphy
Anderssen
Steinitz
Nimzovich
Rubinstein
Keres
Botvinnik
Smyslov
Petrosyan
Spassky
Anand
Kramnik

Maybe retro-fit?

Kind regards
