Tianqi Wang (VanishingDragon on here), because his opening repertoire, especially the way he plays the hedgehog, is really nice.
Also, Michael Adams, for often using openings "for beginners", like Guicco Piano and stuff, and winning often.

touché, urk. 😉
I'd say:
tal (for playing a style dismissed by many and winning)
Morphy (for how creative he was)
Susan polgar (for being the first woman to qualify for the men's world championship)
Steinitz (for evolving chess, though I enjoyed the romantic period of chess far more.
Fischer's * fight against the soviets (just his historic victory over the soviets. He was a horrible person, I'm talking about the match of the century alone)
What about you urk?

I should have put Tal in there, i guess reluctantly in place of John Nunn.
And yet, Nunn had more influence on me as an ignorant, developing player.
Tough choices....
