I don't care about dominance, ratings, number of wins, and years as world champion, etc.. I just care about aesthetics. Even if Tal was never world champion I'd say he was a better chess player.
The question was not about your favourite player. The question asked who is the better player, and that is without doubt Magnus Carlsen. My favourite player is Ivanchuk, but I would never claim that he is better than Magnus, or Kasparov, Anand, Kramnik, for that matter.
Magnus is GOAT, World champion in all time controls and even online he wins events.
