Magnus, but you will be better off starting with Karpov as it will be easier to understand.

I agree 100% even Karpov is not an easy task , basically anything Fischer and after is still modern enough to this day , unless you are a Grandmaster, then maybe some things might be outdated, other then that it's all good in my opinion.
