Epoche diverse, scacchiere diverse
I due nacquero a circa 33 anni di distanza (1942 vs 1975), e questo conta: strumenti scientifici, conoscenza disponibile e cultura intellettuale si accumulano. Confrontare menti tra epoche è confrontare giocatori su scacchiere diverse.
Il verdetto
Allora chi è stato più grande? La risposta onesta: non sono strettamente confrontabili. Sul puro QI stimato, Terence Chi-Shen Tao ha la meglio di poco. Per influenza misurabile e duratura, entrambi sono pilastri.
