In terms of chess ability:

Reshevsky >> Mednis > Sherwin.

(Did someone say that Lyman was a chess player? :-)

Let us not forget that Reshevsky was the strongest player
in the world at one time but was unable to play a match
for the world title due to Soviet machinations.

Also I wish someone better than Lyman could be the
moderator next time PBS does its chess thing ...
Lyman is terrible.
