Fischer didn't play the KG that often, though.

Plus, Fischer isn't modern to me.

He quit chess in the 70's.

I mean players actively playing it.

True, I don't know soo much about chess.

But Wikipedia suggest a handful of grandmasters including GM Joseph Gallagher, GM Hikaru Nakamura, GM Nigel Short, and GM Alexei Fedorov.

Joseph Gallagher plays it regularly.

Nakamura hasn't play the KG in a long time, and he only plays it on occasion.

The greatest KG practitioner was Spassky. Out of 30+ games, he lost only twice, according to chessgames.com.
