i wanted to know the styles of these players

Here's an example answer

1)capablanca-endgame player with poor opening knowledge and strong in attacking the king right from the middlegame

2)alekhine-CoMbinational player, seeks initiative right from the opening

3) fischer-almost universal player, introduced many new opening ideas. seeks equality first as black

4) kasparov-complicates the position

5)botvinnik-don;t know much about this player

6)anand-concrete modern player

7)carlsen-very positional, good endgame player

Lasker comprehended an idea that was pretty difficult for a time when people saw chess only in black and white. Chess is a very complicated game and it can be absolutely unclear what is right or wrong. It is possible to act in different ways. Lasker was very flexible and undogmatic. He was the first undogmatic player in the history of chess. He did not think in terms of "this is good and this is bad". For example, if you manage to occupy the centre, that's good, if not, that's bad". That was a great step forward for chess development.


many nice quotes in the article.
