You guys are all wrong. Bunch of freakin patzers. Britney Spears is CLEARLY the best chess player of all time. Her secret? She's bald.

I personally really like Tal... by sheer science though I'd say the 'strongest' player ever to play chess is Kasparov.

 So in human vs. human battles - Tal

If chess were to ever be 'solved' the best in the 'presolved' era would be Kasparov

GM Vesselin Topalov

If the vote was for who made chess most popular the vote would definately be for Fischer, but  the title for  best chess player should go to Kasparov.

 Well... Topalov would get smashed by Fisher, even by Kasparov in his old age.

Paul Morphy.

Topalov has inumerous wins on Kasparov.He is by far the best player nowadays..smashed Kramnik as if it was nothing.Topalov and Cheparinov make a powerfull team

Smartattack, Topalov has absolutely NOTHING on Britney Spears man. I can't believe you'd vote him over her. I'm ashamed to have you as a fellow chess player.

Lasker was champ longest

Capablanca had the greatest winning percent

Either Morphy or Tal were the most dominant at their height

Kasparov probably in a complicated position

Petrosian was the one that was hardest to beat (especially in Olympiads)

Alekhine was probably the best when he was sober

But if we are saying the best of the best it has to be Fischer because he took on the whole Russian army and crushed them like a bug. If he had recognized he had severe mental illness and had gotten medicated with therapy, there would be no argument.

Lenny_Bongcloud  is the best player if the objective of the game is too lose, not many players could lose too him.
