If you have a top 10 favorite players, post them up. But please make it players that you're not related too, or else everyone would put themselves as 1#.

Here's mine:

 1. Jose Raul Capablanca

 2. Bobby Fischer

 3. Gioachino Greco

 4. Gary Kasparov

 5. Josh Waitzkin

 6. Anatoly Karpov

 7. Adolph Anderssan

 8. Paul Keres

 9. Tigran Petrosian

 10. Alexander Alekhine

                                                  

 

 

 I'm sorry, but i just can't see putting Waitzkin ahead of players like Lasker, Spassky, or Mikhail Tal.

This list is not about best players, just your favorite. If it was who I think are the top 10 best players the list would change completely.

Mine TOP 10:

1.Robert James(Bobby) Fischer

2.Alexander Alekhine

3.Gary Kasparov

4.Jose Raul Capablanca

5.Anatoly Karpov

6.Mikhail Botvinnik

7.Emanuel Lasker

8.Mikhail Tal

9.Paul Morphy

10.Vasilij Smislov 

 

 My apology, i misread the post sorry about that

 

Yes in my oppinion Tal, or Spassky could beat Waitzkin, but I personally like his playing style, plus I like the movie Searching For Bobby Fischer.
