Do you know of any pianists greater than Chopin. Imo nobody even comes close. Who do you consider the greatest?

Chico Marx
Are you 200 years old? If not, how else did you hear him play?
Depends on the criteria. Glenn Gould was incredible. Jazz musician Bill Evans was a wonderful player and hugely influential. Liberace probably made more money than all three if that was the measure. Personally I don't believe in 'best of' in musical or any of the creative arts for that matter.
Liszt
ray manzarek
that guy from Leonard Skeonard
Have you heard about Liberace?
Leon Russell
Chuck Leavell
Chris Stainton
Michael Omartian
Just to name a few
My understanding of the history is that Franz Liszt was basically like the Eddie Van Halen of the piano, a total rock star who would pack in audiences to hear his amazing technical ability and talent.
Was Chopin an accomplished performer or just a great composer for the piano? I don't know.
I also really like Debussy, but I doubt anyone serious in the piano world would put him on top. I just really find the music to be pleasant.

Maybe you mean the greatest composer of music for piano? There are no recordings of Chopin performing.
I saw a video of Oscar Peterson and was really impressed. Not sure how to rank him in overal greatness.

Of course he didn’t see him. It’s not possible.
