Which Grandmaster has the coolest name?

Magnus Carlsen.

true

the grandmaster with most interesting name imo is certainly Ljubomir Ljubojevic (i know how to pronounce that dw)

ultimately Blackburne and Blackbeard aren't too different lol

Bro whaaat?

Takeda Sakai sounds too Japanese, eg. Goro Takeda, Tsuneyoshi Takeda, and Saburo Sakai

Ever heard of Israel Tal (lol) ??

pentala harikrishnan

Not a GM, but there is a Hungarian IM named Pal Kiss

Irina Krush has likely already been mentioned, if not, then I'll list it.

You do know that in Hungarian sz is pronounced normal s but s is pronounced sh, right?

Jan-Krzysztof Duda

Because he gets to say, "The Duda abides!"

agreed on Petrosian and Capa, i’ve always liked the way Tal sounds for no particular reason lol the soft L is just fun to say
