Who is the Most Influential Chess Player?

I'm not sure myself, as I don't know much history, but I assume anything who has a famous opening named after them must be pretty influential. So I'd say Akiba Rubenstein.

Who is the most influential chess player? Not necessarily the best, or most famous, but the one who had the largest impact in changing the course of chess history. What do you guys think?

@tigran-petrosian

TIGRAN PETROSIAN IS ALWAYS FAIR PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hmmm Richard Reti

And btw u spelled Rubinstein wrongly

Bronstein gets my vote, although Chigorin was awesome

Speeling *clap clap clap*

Akiba Rubinstein

Anyways, I would think that Fischer is quite influential

awww darn Rubinstein sorry my dude

hmmmmmmmmm dunno

oh yeah he was pretty influential

Morphy, he showed us how to attack and win in his style

oh gee I change my mind to MORPHY now

XQC lol

tigran petrosyan.

Aron Nimzowitsch is another very influential player

Yes, he taught us on "The build the bridge method" to win the Lucena position.

Beth Harmen

Bobby Fischer, I think. He essentially got chess on TV when he played.
