Before you have a look at GM David Smerdon's top 50 and how he calculated his "fighting chess index", take a guess as to who was #1 from 2015-2020. Some of you may be surprised (at least those of you with long memories and a hatred for the "B-word"). And you probably won't be surprised by who came in last, at least if you've been paying attention. Regardless, it's fun, and there are surprises like alleged drawmeister Anish Giri finishing ahead of Daniil Dubov (as noted by HT recipient Ross Hytnen).

Thoughts?
