I'd suggest studying a GM or IM who's style closely matches yours I make a comparison to boxing if you're an all out attacker like Jake Lamotta Jack Dempsy or Arturo Gatti who bloodied their opponents faces Arnold Denker or Marshall might be a good fit or maybe you're an attacker who has a style like Muhammad Ali lightning fast agressive accurate when he hit someone and hard as hell to catch.
Whose games,Fisher, Karpov, Kasparov, Capablanca,..

Why not study masters chronologically? Chess strategy has gotten more complex over the decades. I would start with Capablanca and Rubinstein. Then Botvinnik and Smyslov. Then Fischer, Karpov, etc. They all built on their predecessors. Understanding Capablanca's simple and classical technique is a prerequisite for the more complex chess that came later.

Probably someone not very hard to understand and follow.
I’m interested in your opinions, suggestions and advice.
Thank you all.

not to mention that fischer had the best home preparation and relied exclusively on it. it was hard to get a position whihch wasnt analyzed till the very end by Bobby. however, in unknown positions the Soviet Giants outplayed him easily.

Capablanca would be great. Clear, logical plans backed up with precise calculation.

Here's my personal favorite Capa game. Nimzowitsch makes what many consider to be an inaccuracy, but Capa's precise technique is instructive, and, in my opinion, very artistic. I would take this any time over brilliant attacking games.

capablanca made few mistakes because like Carlsen he played dull chess. he always exchanged pieces to simplify the position and start pushing pawns
I realize you troll a lot, but that's not really true.. He preferred simple positions to irrational complications, but he was one of the finest calculators in complications at his best, and pretty good after that.

One learns something new every day.
Someone has made trolling an art-form.
Trolling this grotesque is so bad that it's beautiful.

I think a lor of that will depend on how you play. People generally like to study the game of the players that resemble how they play. For me, being onme of those "boring" postional types, I enjoy the games of Petrosian, Capablanca, and Krammnik. But i think studying any Gm's games will be of benefit.
Just my opinon, but if there is one GM that is an excellent study, and covers all facets of the game, it would be Botvinnik.

That is so true!!! Morphy teach you how to play proper chess plus you win a lot games.

That is so inaccurate view of Capablanca's play, it is obvious you never played one game of Capablanca. He was so much more then what you state. Players of the Soviet who study Capablanca's games were Alekhine, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Petrosian and Karpov; especially Karpov, he study Capablanca's games. Capablanca greatness is he had tied score against Botvinnik. You don't know nothing about chess to make a ridiculous statement about Capablanca playing abilities being all he did was exchange pieces.
