I always thought that Bobby Fischer was considered the greatest chess master, but recently I have heard that a few other people are also so considered. Who might these people be?

Looking at a list of former US chess champions, I noticed Bobby Fischer was champion for a few years, then between it was Larry Evans, and then Bobby Fischer again. Did Fischer not defend or did Evans beat Fischer (which I find unlikely since I have never heard of Evans and the whole world knows Bobby Fischer as probably one of the best in chess history)? Who said, "I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people"? How many Mongolian chess players has Bobby Fischer played? I heard recently that Olympic gold medals are actually gold-plated silver. Is this true, and if so, is it also true of gold medals awarded at the Athletics World Championships and Commonwealth Games?
