Magnus Carlsen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! alltought he has not won the WCC his gona win it soon and is gona surpass Garry Kasparov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kasparov for being so much more then just a chess player.
Yeah my two favorites are basically on opposite ends of the chess spectrum. My favorite overall player is Tigran Petrosian. I love how he was so good on defense and could kill all the opponents counterplay in the position before they even knew it existed in the first place. I wish I could play that style...My other favorite player is Bent Larsen. I like how he wasn't afraid to play anything and that inspires me as a player of 1.f4.
I love playing through Petrosian's games even though I don't always understand them yet! Watching his pawns move inexorably down the chess board is fascinating to me. I also love Capablanca AND Leonid Stein!

Would have to say Morphy. I believe he was one of the most dominate players ever. He mopped the floor with all the "best" players in the world in the mid 1800's. Even had one of them running scared (would love to know what was going through Staunton's mind during Morphy's Euro trip...:)
12345fu is my favourite
I would say my favorite player's Morphy, however if if i could be taught from anyone in history or present times, it would have to be Keres, without doubt, his attacks were so beautifull and almost simple. I find myself saying, why don't I see things like that on the board!! And it's almost like his opponents have no way out once he starts his attack!!
My favourite player would be Tal...
The greatest player would be Fischer...
The best player would be Kasparov....
I would add, I'm judging only around the 64 squares....some people in here ! Politics ? there are other places for that lol....Alekhine was not a nice man apparently....do his games suffer accordingly ?
Capablanca, the best of all time. He was called "the Mozart of Chess". He played the most games while being the world champion than any other player.
