I don't think it will ever be agreed on, everyone has their favourites. I'm a fan of Kasparov and Karpov, but to be honest there are so many great players to learn from.

comooooo

kasparov and karpov differ a lot though like fire and ice almost lol

Exactly! It might be easier, but I doubt it, if the question were "best positional player", "best defensive player", "best attacking player" etc. If we're going by titles as in indicator of best player, Kasparov is the winner.

Lasker

best positional player Capablanca - best defense Karpow, best attacking Kasparow

According to my analysis and research Magnus Carlsen is the best player in history - see https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-players/the-strongest-chess-players-of-all-time

I would say Bobby Fischer, I mean, look at my profile picture.

True

if all players would play against each other right now magnus is the best, but his predecessors helped him to become who he is- it is kind of a futile question

comooooo

yes i meant every player in history at its peak against each other with a time machine lol
