Okay people,
what we need to remember is that Morphy and Capablanca are one-in-the-same. Capablanca was the reincarnation of Morphy. TheRefore, a vote for either is a vote for both. Consequently, Morphy / Capablanca is running away with this forum poll.
A vote for Kasparov and Karpov also gets added up. They were both bringing glory to the Soviet Union. If either of them one they would say "My victory" and the other one would say "No, brother, our victory."
It's interesting, the photo of Fisher (above), that his Knight on the back rank is facing forward yet his Knight on the 3rd rank (c3) is facing left. I wonder what that's all about? Maybe a mental awareness "note" to himself, or a possible "distraction" aimed at his opponent…
He was such an enigma.

Since the thread title asked for "YOUR FAVORITE" my vote is Fisher.
At a young age, but older than when he was a little boy — dressed in a jacket and tie — he had the "look" and he also made his mark on the world.
