[pcwnnsqj] Head and shoulders above the rest

Yet another method to try to determine the greatest chess player in history. What is the greatest rating margin the number 1 player has opened up over the number N (N=2,3...10)? We assume that the number N player's ability has remained roughly constant.

The answer is probably Fischer.
