Your reasons don't have to focus on their games only, maybe their personalities or something else.

I’m huge fans of Mikhail Tal, Rashid Nezhmetdinov (Coach of Tal), Bobby Fischer, Miguel Najdorf, and Kasparov. I’d say that none of them hugely impact my games whether it be style or thought process in general but rather they inspire me to become better than them if that’s even possible.

Casablanca just has talent not coincidence like everybody else. His endgames are insane

Ivanchuk is my favorite, because he's crazy as a bedbug.

Tal is cool, too. Played him. Saint John, 1988.
