Farnsworth Chess Hall of Fame

I have created a Hall of fame for Chess at Farnsworth. Not everybody makes the hall of fame - not even the players who are very good, but only the outstanding players and teams. I have set up the criteria for making it into the Farnsworth Chess Hall of Fame, and you can see that it is very difficult.
