Or New York 1924:

    1. Lasker
    2. Capablanca
    3. Alechin

etc.

**Well, anyone can do etc eteras, but all three were foreigners, and these

compared to six people now nationals. You write as if this is comparison.

What are the names of the present
participants of the strongest ever US
tournament again? Louder, please :-)

**To what end, Wlod? I have the player list, but what exactly is the 
argument you wish me to engage by mentioning them?

**If you choose to make some point about /retrospective/ ratings of 3 
players compared with current ratings, make it! Otherwise you have the
same 
foolery in you as the Hillery, who challenged the issue without even as
much 
'fact' as yourself. You will also have to compass all players in your
point, 
btw, since the event is averaged over all players. Go for it!
