The sentence in the introductory paragraphs of Magnus Carlsen, saying that Carlsen had been compared to certain grandmasters including Smyslov, was an echo of a sentence in the "Playing style" section, which quoted an interview with Kasparov. To clarify, my point was not that such a comparison had never been made, but just that it was made infrequently enough such that I had never seen it, and thus that including Smyslov sets a precedent that we should in fact including nearly all or all previous WCs. If you want to start a discussion of this, perhaps the best place would be in WT:CHESS." These appear in several biography articles of chess players. I reverted your edit because your reason given was that you hadn't seen the comparison to Smyslov but having restored the status quo, I do not know why one set of comparisons is quoted and not others. He responded: "I do not have a useful set of criteria at my fingertips. And while Kasparov is one of the greatest players of all time, he is far from being the end-all in these discussions, so drawing the line precisely there seems kind of arbitrary." As I stated in my edit summary, if we were to include all comparisons made by people who meet WP's standards of notability, we would need to list every world champion. I'm not necessarily opposed to this inclusion, but I'd like if you could expand on precisely what you think the criteria for players in this section should be. I wrote the following comment on Bruce leverett's discussion page: "I'm writing to you with regards to the reversion you made of my edit to Magnus Carlsen's page, specifically the inclusion of Smyslov in the list of comparisons to former WCs.
