Really I want everyone's thoughts. How about Hikaru?

I think Gelfand might have an account here.  Probably him, his endgame technique and prophylactic sense comparable to Petrosian certainly put him up there.

The best chess player here is Capablanca's zombie, making moves only dead players could make work.

Some people don't like him but Nakamura is currently #1 in Rapid, #2 in blitz and #2 in classical chess on the FIDE live lists. He is far and away the best bullet player in the world and on this site as well as the higher rated blitzer on this site. There is no one better who is an active member here. In my opinion the only better player in the world is Carlsen at the moment but if you only go by 2015 results and performance rating ,Nakamura is the best in the world right now. He has lost only two classical games this year and gained 60 rating points.  The numbers don't lie.
