1. Kasparov 
2. Nastia Karlovich 
3 & 4. ? 
5. Byrne-Fischer maybe 
6. 0 
7. no 
8. Anish Giri 
9. no 
10. both at their peak? Kasparov. 
11. Kasparov 
12. dunno 
13. yes

1. Peter Svidler 
2. Tatiana Kosintseva 
3. 1000 maybe even skipping all those contents I'm not interested in 
4. None because I wouldn't do that 
5. My first game in my first rated tournament 
6. Extinct 
7. No 
8. Some guys that now is 12 years old 
9. No 
10. Garry Kasparov 
11. Hard to compare players through different eras 
12. Sergey Bubka 
13. No

1. Magnus Carlsen/Houdini 4 (if AI is allowed). 
 
2. Natalia Pogonina. 
 
3. I've seen an estimate somewhere (over 320,000 lifetimes). Don't care enough to check. 
 
4. Depends on who is reading ;-) 
 
5. I don't have one. Also, my preferences change over time & when I become better in chess.  
 
6. Zero. 
 
7. No. 
 
8. Magnus Carlsen has the best chance atm, but there will be so many competitors that the odds of him remaining WC by that time are rather low. Pure Math. 
 
9. Maybe, but I hope it won't.  
 
10. If we use a time machine and teleport Carlsen to the era when Kasparov was at his prime? Magnus would win: so far each generation is stronger than the previous one. 
 
11. I guess Bobby Fischer, although it's a pity that he retired early and didn't live up to the incredible standards he has set for himself. 
 
12. I know too little about most of the sports to try to choose. 
 
13. Definitely not. What would I do with this useless knowledge? And each of us isn't event granted 10 years of life ahead. What if someone chooses "yes" and finds out that he should have been dead a few years by now?
