I know he has his faults but i still cant help liking him...
Who is the most sympathetic gm in your opinion?
Sort:
Yeah I agree there...had to look up gregarious though...
Anand or Karpov
I saw an interview with Karpov once and he seemed a very nice guy indeed..These gm ''s are mostly complicated people I think...
Alejandro Ramirez and Yasser Seirawan seem very nice

What are you even talking about?? Are you actually from the USA? Hiding behind a different flag than where you are from?
Calling Garry Kasparov articulate just means that he is good at communicating his thoughts in a coherent manner. That has nothing to do with whether you consider chess an art or a sport (my opinion: it's both).

From personal acquaintance: Ronen Har Tzvi, Ilan Manor, Gadi Rechlis, Ram Soffer - are all extremely friendly people. GM Gofshtein was one too.

Spassky is reported to be quite the gentleman. I once got to spend several hours with Gligorich, and he was extraordinarily gracious and personable.
Anand gets snappy in press conferences occasionally, but he is very classy and well-respected by all the big names in the chess world. A few years ago he opened the doors of his home to flood victims in Chennai, India. Genuinely a nice person.

Yes I'm from Texas. I was joking.
Anybody but Carlos Magnussen, really.

Svidler is great, but Eric Hansen, A.K.A. Chessbrah is my number 1 pick.

That one GM that started at 30 yrs and became GM by 42, he's pretty sympathetic, but I don't remember his name.
Reportedly Gligoric was great company. Spassky and Tartakower of course as well. Not sure out of the current crop.
Yasser Sierawan. Hands down.
My choice would be Gary Kasparov...
