Bobby Fischer, I think. He essentially got chess on TV when he played.
oh that's cool, I didn't know that. Then he is pretty influential too
Depends on the player. What chess player is the question. Not world champion, GM or even chess master. Chess player. The student is my most influential chess player. Always, the student.

Change my mind, hikaru
Hikaru has only really influenced speed chess and attacking chess to a small extent. I feel like many people are like "I want to attack like Hikaru" but he's not as influential as Morphy for instance

I think you might be referring to the first Tigran Petrosian (created many lines, like the Petrosian variation of the Kings Indian Defence)
Han Xin. He created chess.
