Everyone falls, didn't Kasparov? Capablanca lost to alekhine, who is in most top five rankings, while Kasparov lost it to Kramnik, who is almost never mentioned in the top ten.
Rankings of whom? Most admired players? On the rankings of strongest players ever Vladimir would easily make it to the top-10.
Except I value Mikhail Tal as the best attacking player that ever played. And David Bronstein who came before him.
That's what I was thinking.
Henry Bird also had some impressive attacking games that ended because of a pin or double-check.
