This is a real question, and here's my answer.

It depends on how you play. If you're an attacking player, you would be best off with Alekhine, Tal, Fischer, or Kasparov. If you're a positional player, you'd be good with Lasker, Anand and more.

I'm not sure about the other types of players though.

I just want advice for good games to look at, thanks!

HORRIBLE advice. The GM or GM's you decide to study will depend on your rating range. Using you for example. You want to study the games of the old Masters like Morphy and those from that era and even earlier. Why? Because they are much easier to understand and are full of tactics.

Studying the games of Tal while fun, but will lead to illusions of grandeur, and attempts to play like him which is a recipe for failure.

also studying Tal's games would have much MORE tactical stuff than Lasker or Morphy, etc.

You have a right to your opinion.

If you are under 2000, Greco, Morphy, Capablanca, and the top players between Morphy and Capablanca, such as Pillsbury.
