Who is a chess player that you can most relate to?

Well none of the best players are really relatable in ability obviously lol, but personality wise theyre all pretty normal to me actually with a tinge of superiority but thats anyone top performer really. I think all of the streamers seem relatable but that could just be because its their job to be that way. I wouldnt really know im the most unrelatable person on earth lol

Well long-term it's obviously petrosian for me. I respect his back-story and his sort of defensive hard to beat style is how I would love to be able to play - if I was a strong enough player, anyway it's something to aspire to. Of recent players I like Fabiano caruana. I don't know as much about him but he seems like a good guy to me, I think I could have a pint with him

I recently saw an amateur video of Magnus in a student bar, playing blitz chess and joking with spectators. He treated his opponent in a friendly, respectful way. He seemed like a completely regular guy
