(1800-1945)?

co could out-annotate Tarrasch any day of the week. A famous
example is Vid-Teichmann, Carlsbad 1907. In this position:
5nk1/1bq2ppp/r7/p3P3/1pp3P1/4pP1R/PPQ4P/1B1R2K1. (or B: Kg8, Qc7,
Ra6, Bb7, Nf8, a5,b4,c4, e3, f7, g7, h7; W: Kg1, Qc2, Rd1, Rh3, Bb1,
a2, b2, e5, f3, g4, h2)
Teichmann played 26...Rg6. Tarrasch, in an article that appeared in
several newspapers and magazines, wrote "Clearly this rook move is
totally misguided. Black must simply take the e-pawn to achieve the
better game e.g. 26...Qxe5 27.Qxc4 Rd6 ..." and so on. co, in the
tournament book, pointed out that 26...Qxe5?? loses immediately to
27.Qxh7+! Nxh7 28.Rd8+ Nf8 29.Rh8+ Kxh8 30.Rxf8#.

The Fischer of 1945? He would have been only two years old. Some say
most or all of Reshevsky's books around that time were ghosted by
Reinfeld and others.

Probably World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik. The three-volume set of
his best games from Moravian Chess is rekably accurate and
insightful. Other excellent annotators include Georg co (1863-1923),
GM Paul Keres (1916-1975), and World Champion Alexander Alekhine
(1892-1946).

I would add Reshevesky and Fischer. If Fischer ever decided to publish an
updated annotaded book of his games it would be an immediate best seller,
for sure.
