MIKHAIL TAL!
Sacrifices, complicated positions, tactical melees and a desire for the initiative.
Only my favorite player ever.
What master/famous player embodies your favorite style?

Nezhmetdinov
He plays aggressively and has a tactical vision like none other.
Here's a game:

p.s. tal, Nezhemetdinov, Spassky and Kasparov, but even the dryest of positional players have beautiful combinations under their belt.

I tried to play like Tahl & Nezhmetdinov once but soon realized I was just throwing away pieces and had to stop.

Capablanca. His classical, direct style of play I find to be most effective. Since I have adopted his methods, my ratings have significantly improved.
love looking at Alekhine's games.
Lenny Bongcloud, Ph.D.
Garry Kasparov ;) - He just really could not be beaten by other humans (in his time, ofc) lol, and I suppose that deserves my top "style".
Capablanca's style is an extremely close second though, completely natural player who's moves seemed too simple to be true!

I dont get when people say that. As good as Kasparov was he was beaten many a time just like all the best players in the history of chess
If they are not well known give a description of that style.
I'll be the token Morphy guy. Positional player and tactical genius who dominated open games.. lets go who else
