Welcome to the chess players picture quiz!

This is a quiz for those who love chess history. It is about recognizing the 100 best and/or most famous chess players in history from their pictures. The choice of the 100 most famous ones is obviously somewhat arbitrary - you may or may not agree to my choices.

There are ten levels with ten pictures each. Whenever you complete a level you get access to the next one. You pass a level as soon as you have managed to identify all players. The levels do get progressively harder, so reaching a high level may take some effort.

You need to type in the answers, so it's useful to know that names here use the (English) spelling as used by the FIDE rating lists with diacritics left out. In many cases the quiz still allows a few common spelling variations. Also the answers are not case sensitive. And you have unlimited retries, so you can always correct any mistakes.

Have fun!
