Gary Kasparov had the highest rating of all time (2851, I believe). 
Fischer was the first American Grandmaster, wasn't he? 

I think Paul Morphy was the best.

Garry Kasparov was the best of them all, by strenght, results, dazzling historic games and matches, hard work, natural talent, you name it.

but personally I like the elegant and bold play of Spassky Cool

Mikhail Tal

If he didn't have such bad health he would still be alive and still be world champion

Unfortunaly Mikhail Tal died early.Tal was a chain smoker and a heavy drinker.He died of kidney failure.His organs had stopped functioning.He had  great attacking style.He was one of the most famous chess players.People loved him much.He was really great player.One of the greatest of all times.

Avery tough question, I don't think you would be wrong with any of the choices, but my vote goes to Garry kasparov.  His accomplishments are pretty amazing.

Sir , you left off that list REUBEN FINE, co-winner of one of the greatest tournaments ever!!! The 1938 AVRO tournament won by co-winners Rueben Fine and the fantastic Paul Keres.

Rudolph Charousek should be on that list if Chigorin is....

My vote goes to the greatest chess genius the universe will ever produce. One Robert James Fischer!!! 

Paul Morphy /Capablanca tied for second and Kramnik third, ole Kasp takes fourth , Lasker fifth with Tal at sixth. AFTER THAT

KARPOV/ANAND , Alekhine , Bronstein, Paul Keres ..---    Sixguns
