Favorite Chess Player

Karpov

You can watch the current Corus chess tournermant live at "coruschess.com", but you must have java. You can download it free.

Favourite chess player has to be Kasparov.

The patzer.

I've always liked Grandmaster Tov Kronsteen, the SPECTRE agent in From Russia with Love who refused orders to quit immediately in the middle of his game at the Venice International Tournament, and later gave this explanation to his overlords:

If, with only three minutes to go, I had received a message that my wife was being murdered outside the door of the tournament hall, I would not have raised a finger to save her. 

Gotta love the truly dedicated!

edit:  Whoops!  I just discovered there's a blog post on chess.com about Kronsteen.

Anand beat Kramnik today at The Corus Chess Tournament!!!

By the Way Thanks jesterville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 SuperNATIONALS. Get the name right.

The invicible emperor.. Gioachino Greco!!

There are so many great chess players to choose from- Kasparov, Fischer, Karpov, Capablanca etc. It really is difficult to choose just one. What turns me off is when your "chess hero" turns out to be a jerk in real life (the more important game).

I guess Emil Sutovsky, He is very interesting.

Although Garry Kasparov is the best one.

Definately IM Michael Basman.

He plays using unorthodox openings, such as the Grob and Creepy Crawly, and it always interesting to play through his games!
