For more than 30 years, the chess world was blessed with dominant World Champions such as Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov. Since Kasparov retired, Kramnik, Anand and Topalov took turn occupying the pinnacle.

Today, with young guns like Carlsen, Radjabov and Karjakin, in addition with talented players like Aronian, Mamedyarov, Morozevich, Shirov, Svidler and Leko, etc., it is hard to predict who will win from week to week.

Is it better for the game to have a dominant player like Fischer, Karpov or Kasparov or is it better to have a bunch of players in a similar level?

What is your take?
