Favorite chess player?

I do agree when two super GM's play often there is little blundering. But it is solid play so I can see how it comes to what it is. Less time would solve some of those issues such as 40/30m with a 5 second delay and 20m for the rest of the game. Cutting the TC in a third or quarter of what it is.

Magnus! The only one who can win by doing nothing.

Haha Wins by bore opponents out!

1 - Capablanca (i don t know why, but he's the greatest...).

7 - Karpov

9 - Bent Larsen

My favorite chess player is Bobby Fischer. My favorite living chess player is Magnus Carlsen.

ya sultan khan was very good, and Akiba Rubinstein too !
Korchnoi was very great too...

1) Alexander Alekhine - great attacker; great ideas
2) Paul Morphy - seeing his games is like seeing poetry in motion

#13 Thx Achja

Surprisingly none of all the illuminated here mentioned Emanuel Lasker or did i oversee a post?

The only World Chess Champion from Germany - for 27 years(!)

BTW, i wish i could get a copy of his book about the game Skat from 1929 or so.
