The US is large enough and influential enough to keep the imperial system alive. We use the metric system for science because this application actually does benefit us. Changing it in general would actually have more negative effects than positive. Not big effects but still negative.

    Modern players are stronger so its not too unreasonable. But best is more subjective, and is about eras, having never been world champion or even qualified for WC match, I'd say theres no way he's top 10. He has won US champion multiple times. I'd say top 15 might be a bit generous but its his opinion

    Considering that most nowadays super GMs are better than all WCs up to the 70s and considering all kinds of chess is played nowadays he is quite accurate. Considering the only classical OTB chess I will say he is probably more in the top 15-20 all time. In blitz and in bullet is Top 2 All time.

    I think that to make that ranking, you have to evaluate classics, rapid and blitz. Ding is world champion and, in my opinion, less complete than Naka. I think the same about Kramnik, and other champions. His problem is having run into Magnus. Surely it would be in the top 15.
