Could be Carlsen, Kasparov, Alekhine or Fischer!
What chess player do you think of when someone talks about chess?
Sort:
My mom
I think of Fischer in his blitz game with Reuben Fine... Evan's gambit accepted. Fine thought one sooo young would falter... a mere 17 moves later he was in deep do-do. Also Fischer in game 6 of the his Icelandic encounter with the Spazz... a masterpiece on 64 squares! Spazz was overwhelmed just like Larsen, Taimanov and Petrosian. And game 13 in Iceland convinced Botvinnie that Fischer could be considered the best ever.

BUT... my mother is ...or was.. the most beautiful woman in the world. 
Oh man! ... u need help! 
cheese point!
Initially I think of Fischer, but whenever I think of Fischer I automatically start think about Josh Waitskin. I think that's because I really don't know that much about Waitskin. Anyone know any good books on Josh Waitskin?
sidetracking much?
Im a big fan of Mr Waitzkin...Pity he Quit competitive chess
But i Have to go for Tal...crazy
me
guys, have you lost track of the topic of this thread?
To answer the Question,it depends...what are we talking about regarding chess...
just in general.
In general i would go with Waitzkin i guess...through the chessmaster academy i feel ive got to know him in a way...
I don't get it, why would I think of a person at all? I picture a chess board.
Also, I cringe whenever anyone tries to make an analogy based off chess - it never works (except that one time Feynmann did it, that was pretty good).
Myself.
Most peeps on this thread have gone for who they think of as the "best" - either current or historic. That's not quite what the OP is asking, IMO.
Clarification: This is just an observation, not a judgement!
