Morphy casually dominated. Chess was just a game to him. Concur with others who've made this point.

Transport him to 2025 and he'd crush everyone without breaking a sweat.

I think all the greats - Morphy, Alekhine, Capablanca, Fischer, Kasparov etc would all be around the same strength as Carlsen, had they all been born in 1990, with the same access to theory, databases, engines.

They'd all be Super GMs. You simply can't compare players from the pre-computer era with modern players. It's apples vs oranges.

That definitely isn't his name.

Either Kasparov or Carlsen. 
Not Fischer. When he was on form he was unstoppable, yes. But he was streaky. And his reign was too short compared to the other two.
