 My favourite player is Kasparov. He rocks and he is by far the best.

I have jumped on the Magnus Carlsen bandwagon... I love watching his games.

Morozevich is also very exciting to watch play.

In women's tournaments I have recently began cheering for.....

(drum roll please)

Yelena Dembo!!!

If you're talking about a favorite player of all time I'd give my nod to Bobby Fischer.

 Ya Bobby Fischer was a great player and had an interesting, unusual style of play that I do like. Thanks :):):)

I like Kasparov (no comments needed), Kramnik (his Catalan rocks!, I love his style), Karpov (prophylactic moves player), Fischer (yes), Carlson (talented, he really is) , Anand (very solid).  Also I like myself! There many players, not that famous I respect very much: Averbakh, Yusupov (everyone knows his Trainer M. Dvoretsky for his great chess book series), Halifman, Polugaevski (his Sicilian defense books truly advanced me to the next level), Kalinchenko  (great player and author) and many many many other!!!

My favorite player is whomever's book I happen to be reading at the time.  Right now its Xie Jun's Chess Champion from Chin.  Very interesting games.  Yes, Xie Jun is my favorite player.

Kasparov is awesome.  He may have been the best chess player of all time, and what he does politically is simply inspiring.  You can see http://www.kasparov.com/ or http://www.theotherrussia.org/ for more information about this.

What Bobby Fischer did in the first half of his life was also inspiring.  Unfortunately, this is not the case with what he did in his later years.
