The Top 100 Chess Performances in History: (As of the Writing)

I have posted a few articles on here about my rating system now. Anyway, so here’s a data dump, albeit a small one. Giri recently performed at the World Championship Contender level, and Firouzja just did the same (but slightly higher than Giri’s performance). These are the best performances I have found at this stage in my investigation of chess history.

Please state in the comments if you want me to process a chess tournament from chess’s history to see how a particular player did.
