Who is the G.O.A.T. in chess?

@Eleuthero Remind me again how many world championships Fisher defended. Hahaha.

Only americans think Fisher is top 3 or even top 1 in chess history.

Kasparov is obviously the greatest chess player of all time.
Technically speaking Carlsen would probably be the GOAT but since opening theory and endgames have improved a lot due to engines in this generation you can't really compare this one with previous generations. Bottom line: It's unfair to compare players from different eras.
@Dr.Nykterstein is without a doubt the best player of all time
If Fischer had today's modern opening theory and preparation I guess he will get adjusted in a month and dominate again IMHO.
Greatest player was Humphrey Bogart. Estimated Master class chess strength and 1000+ women
