<p>Asked to choose between Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer, (more/most) chess experts would declare Fischer to be the better player.</p>
<p>The answer is "most"</p>
<p>Please explain why.</p>
<p>“most” is the correct answer because if “more” was used, there would have to be a “than _____” clause at the end of the sentence to be correct. That came out awkward, so if “more” was correct than the sentence would have to be something like:</p>
<p>Asked to choose between Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer as the best chess player, more chess experts would choose Fisher than Kasparov.</p>
<p>Since there isn’t a “than” clause in the sentence that you provided, “most” is the correct answer.</p>
<p>Where did you get this question?</p>
<p>I thinks it’s more because it goes with better.</p>
<p>Doesn’t more sound awkward to you?</p>
<p>“More” would probably need a “than” clause.</p>
<p>Sure it sound awkward… But after completing so many SAT type questions, the more awkward the sentence, the more correct it is (well this rule only applies on the last few questions)</p>
<p>The “more” or “most” isn’t comparing the two guys to each other. It’s talking about how out of a bunch of experts, most of them would choose one over the other. LoseYourself’s right; “more” would need a “than” somewhere.</p>
<p>Jime was the MORE awesome between the two.</p>
<p>This is right, right?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Jim was the more awesome of the two.</p>
<p>Also, Kasparov is much better. In his prime Kasparov would beat fischer easily.</p>
<p>“Asked to choose between Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer as the best chess player, more chess experts would choose Fisher than Kasparov”</p>
<p>I think a better example for using “more” would be as follows:
Asked to choose between Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer as the best chess player, more chess experts from Russia would declare Fisher to be better player than experts from USA.</p>
<p>while better compares the players, “more” would require “than” and would apply to experts. In the absense of such details of the experts to compare, say from differnt countries and because there is only one population of experts, use “most”.</p>
<p>You really think Kas would beat Fischer EASILY?</p>
