What The Frog?(WTF)

     In your opinion which chess player is the greatest in your heart.And one....you can name 2 if you want

Fischer

And my dad

In my heart? ... wow...

Well I'd have to say that if you expect to get anywhere you have to value your own skills highly but I am NOT the best chess player ... yet.

Mihail (oft spelled Mikhail) Tal was the most brilliant player who ever mated another man's king.

#1  Tal.  Excellent attacker.

#2.  Alehkine.  Brilliant tactician.

Gud day mr.chessfanforlife, Your question could be a good gauge of the popularity and influence of former great chess players among chess.com members, but I never suspected from your header(WTF?)- I guess you meant this. However, me I admire the styles of 1) Tigran Petrosian-'The Great Defender' and 2) Aron Nimzowitsch-'The Great Teacher'

Why is this forum called What the Frog.

What happened to grenouille?

For me, I greatly admire Viktor Korchnoi.

His fighting chess always inspires me. His success/es when everyone told him he was too old, his wife and kid were being detained in Russia, etc speaks volumes for the man's resolve and ability.

I also find his passion for chess, he explains it as that he is always searching for the exceptions to the rules, is a revelation and inspiration.

OK, with one it is too hard to answer my favorite would then be PaulAkibaKarlEmmanuelLenoid MorphyRubensteinSchlecterLaskerStein

 I agree with Tonydal Tarrasch was very good and did not get the credit deserved as well neither did Schlecter an earlier version of Petrosian.

OK I cheated, I would Say Paul Morhy, then Lenoid Stein as a player that has a winning record against Fischer and not much is ever heard of him.

 The only man who can do a King sacrifice for the win.

1. Myself

2. Patrick Arrnot, he is bad you can only laugh...

i like Boris Spassky for his guts against the Soviet Union.

and i adore Tal for his attacks and tactics.

I always had a fondness for the games of Frank Marshall for some reason.
