Modern player I agree, but before Alot to choose from! My vote would be Morphy; maybe Fisher

I'm guessing black's previous move was ...Qd1. So did white miss it or got lost in his calculations and forgot to play Bxe6 first?

The best chess player WHOEVER EXISTED? Fischer said, It is him! Now go argue with him not with me here or others.
Wow, Anand fell into that? Ouch!
Sources seem to indicate that the decisive mistake was a move or two before that, when he allowed ...Qd1 to be strong. Indeed, Anand is an aging player.

"Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all."
-Bobby Fischer
I am not overlooking the possibility that Fischer meant Morphy was a lesser player but a greater genius...
