Bobby Fischer may have a solid claim to being the most famous player ever, but Capablanca was very famous in his lifetime - without any TV or internet coverage. So how can you even compare the degree of fame attained in totally different eras?

Morphy - Allies Paris 1858 is often called the most famous game of chess ever played, but this is just a matter of opinion too since fame can't be measured as precisely as time or temperature for instance

thanks for that game link! I'll check it out!

garry kasparov was the best :)

He means Levitsky-Marshall, 1912.

Morphy v Duke & Count is by far the most published chess game of all time, though.

1. Italian Game

2. ?

3. Fried Liver 

4. The weird one with the x-ray rook. (Forgot composer)

5. Fischer.

6. Kasparov vs. Deep Blue series.

4.  Saavedra?

Am I the only pleb who has not so much as looked at a puzzle? Nevermind remembering what they are named! I also couldn't tell a morphy game from a kasparov one :/.

Most famous chess player in the United States would have to be Fischer. Worldwide, most likely Kasparov.

yeah!

I agree with this
