Hi,

I'm currently plowing my way through Karsten Muller's superb book on Tal, and it's whetted my appetite for that type of play.

Could anyone recommend any fearless players to look into? I'm looking for players who are still active. (Four examples I came up with are: Ivanchuck, Shirov, Le Quang Liem and Luke McShane.)

Thanks!

Sascha Morozevich played alot of Kings Gambit (1.e4e5 2.f4) as White and Tchigorin Defense (1.d4d5 2.Nf3 Nc6) as Black and made it to 2700.

Thanks guys; I can't believe I forgot Morozevitch!

@alexsmohr: do any games for Short and Polgar come to mind? I've always filed them away in the "pragmatic" section, rather than "romantic".
