In your opinion, who do you think is the best ever chess player? Present? Past?

Its hard to think but niw i think either magnus or fabiano

Robert J. Fischer and Mikhail Tal

A chess player is not just their own native talent but the superstructure surrounding them. This superstructure includes reasonably affluent parents, good coaches, the general chess environment. This environment includes book, computers, and the knowledge of previous praxis. So Magnus Carlsen is the strongest player of all time IMO.

But I need to emphasise, a player is the total of all the inputs. No man is an island. To take the example of the player Sultan Khan. Without the patronage of his employers we would not know of him, and given the population of India, a nation then and now, would surely support a thousand champions if the economic conditions surrounding them were in their favour; likewise, elsewhere in the world. In Soviet Russia chess was a state sponsored vehicle for propaganda.

In comparison to Stockfish etc., Carlsen's talent is insignificant.

Levy Rozman

I think he cheted. Likeyou!😱

I think i heard on the chess.com news that he used a bot orsomething tocheat with. Im not sure it was him though. It might have been someone else that cheated against magnus and won. Im like 98 percent sure he cheated though because i really do think it was him who cheated. Im mean honestly, to smoke magnus in a game would be like a dream come true. Nor to cheat though, but i definitly think that neiman probably cheated. Just look it up on google or something.

Me, i would never cheat and use the computer to help me. But i have played people that have cheated against me. How do i know this?

well first of. You have to pretty musch lose against him. Or her. It can be anyone. Thenn i got an alert that someone i olayed against, my opponent, cheated against me.

by the way, all yuo have to do is to ask magnus if neiman dude cheated against him. 
bruh. I kinda know how magnus feels to be smoked by neiman because if i got smoked by a 600, i wiuld be balling. One time, i actually got smaoked by a lower rated player than me. Totally smoked. I played a 900 and at that time i was a 1100 and thr guy totally smoked me. I was so upset

In present my favourite chess player is praggnanandhaa and for past players I would say paul morphy

Nice. Paul morphy…wait. Why the heck am i literallly blanking out on paul morphy??!! Oh wait. Now i remember him. For some reason, i only see franklin pierce when i think of paul morhy

YAHHHHHHHHH

Nice

a : Magnus Carlsen

b : For strong bots (on the long term) even to me old programs like Fritz 8 or Junior 8 are already stronger than humans (even if we remove their opening encyclopedia).

How many humans are capable of being tireless, of being psychologically indestructible and of being able to calculate 3 million positions per second ?

Perhaps "Hans Niem-Stockfish" but otherwise no one.

c : When Magnus Carlsen wins a world championship (or a tournament with strong Gms) it's impressive etc. because he wins against strong Gms with his human abilities.

When "Fritz 10" (it's in 2006 against Kramnik named Deep Fritz) wins in a multi-game competition against Vladimir Kramnik it's not really impressive etc. because "Fritz 10" wins with his inhuman abilities.

The point of the strong bot's victory is rather to have symbolically brought down human arrogance (I think Kramnik wasn't even particularly arrogant but doesn't matter he'll pay for the other arrogant ) and having created a chess program that is stronger (on the long term) than very strong humans meaning that of the same program it can be used to produce different levels allowing humans to have opponents of their strengths 24 hours a day.

Best in the present I'd say Magnus, In the past, I don't think anyone dominated his era like Lasker! World Chess Champion for 27 years!!!

I think Magnus Carlsen.
