I've compiled a list of players going back more than 200 years. Each one of them a great master of the game in his own way. In terms of results, influence, contribution, style, etc. Players, innovators, teachers.
Yet, each with 7, or (mostly), less pages of kibitzing here.
I'm sure there is a number of others I have not thought of.
I've listed them in a chronological order:

Of course, the most frequented pages are those of the current top masters, which is understandable. And of a few top-notch old timers, mostly those whose lives and/or careers have been marked either by some totally stunning accomplishment/characteristic, or marred by a controversy.
