@griffin no he Wus the only one on there twice, but @Tx7x1 added more

Nice idea @Tx7x1 to see the world champions in sequence, in addition to the personal interpretation of the game you can also see the evolution of styles and tricks over time.
I think Christopher Chia would have deserved a place in this sequence too … a player with extraordinary skills (he could literally bend the rules of physics!) and with a very personal style.
