let's say X-box brings out a game in which you can 'build' the ultimate chess master by combining characteristics from any players in history what would you pick from which players? Including character,looks ,temprament etc.

Kasparov openings and middle games,Fischer's creativity, Alekhine 's positional play , temperament like Karpov, Judith Polgar's temperament,Capablanca's looks, Morphey's persona ...who is the best at end games?

wow,great ,so Karpov for endgames...wonder if anybody will be able to come up with a better version?

no one ever seems to mention Korchnoi,he is the oldest active grandmaster and was a world champ candidate 10 times! sure he is not the best but he sure has some fire which should count for something.
