Veselin Topalov!

Many people consider him to be an annoying player, especially after Toiletgate, but one thing's for sure:  when he's in a match, every game is exciting, or at least is not a boring, drawn non-game!

I agree.  I didn't think Kasparov had the "best" personality.  I think Anand is an anomoly - a normal and down to earth world champion, but they all have their hangups.  I personally routing for Topalov during the match... he plays for blood... but Anand's preperation is fierce...
