20. Patrick Wey, D 6.0D

[Note: The number next to each player represents that “player’s realistic potential ability,” while the letter represents “the player’s realistic chances of achieving their potential.” In other words, Stefan Della Rovere has a lower ceiling than Francois Bouchard, but is much more likely to reach that potential.]

Each player gets a paragraph or two justifying his rank and rating, so make sure to click through for some thoughts on each of the twenty, and share your own thoughts on the list and analysis in the comments.
