Morphy is the guy for me, majority of his games feature pure tactical brutallity.

It can be Carlsen if he keeps rocking on, the guy can be world champion for a few decades ..

If not, it has to be Fischer or Kasparov.

But, to me, a player like Morphy didn't face opponents strong enough to be considered as the best ever.
