Magnus is the GOAT of the computer era, Fischer is the GOAT of pre-computer era and Kasparov is the GOAT in between. There is no point in comparing these three players. Sorry, Karpov is not in the top 3.
Why is Karpov even being mentioned? like yeah he was really good but clearly Kasparov exists. Though personally I do think Magnus is the goat.

Oh 
I really like Karpov. I think he's underrated. His positional style is a lot less flashy than Kasparov and Fischer, but at his prime he was practically unbeatable because of it. He was a World Champion, after all. You can't really compare Magnus because he trained with computers :/

Because Magnus sucks at chess since he didn’t practice the “proper” way.
