Who is your favorite chess players of all time???

The Backyard Professor 

lmao

There is only one Master for me. ......Richard Reti !! The co inventor of hypermodernism in the 1920's. Years ahead of his time.

Capablanca because he was arguably the best player of all time and arguably the player with the greatest amount of natural talent. His games are simple and straightforward yet no one could stop him. He barely ever made mistakes and he rarely lost. By the way most of this is factual, when checked with computer analysis he was the player to make the least amount of mistakes over a 10 year period, and his games were determined to be the least complex. I think that if you are looking for the biggest amount of instructive games there is no greater person than Capablanca.
