Longtime contender, great chess mind, very underappreciated. Glad to see others admire Korchnoi.
Another underappreciated player was Geller (who, I think, had a lifetime plus score against Fischer); even fewer could claim that.

You don't know someone is female just because "Alice" is their handle.
Could be a fan of Alice in Wonderland, for all you know.
