Chess players: the best of history and today
Who is the best chess player in history? And the best woman? These are questions that spark endless debate, and here we’ll tackle them with data: ELO, titles, career records, and the mark each one left on the game.
This is the players section of chess.pro. Each profile brings together their biography, their ELO evolution throughout their career, their most famous games, and links to their official profiles on FIDE and Wikipedia.
How this section is organized
We’ve divided players into four groups so you can quickly find what you’re looking for:
- Current — those still competing today at the highest level.
- Historical — the legends who defined each era.
- Men’s and women’s — because women’s chess has its own champions and its own history, worth telling separately.
Below you’ll find the published profiles, sorted by ELO within each group, and a Top 10 of the main federations with the best active players from each country according to the official FIDE list.
