Dangerous Player...
Sort:
In America I'd definitely have to say Fischer. On the international scene however, I would say probably more like Kasparov.
I'd have to say Alexandra Kosteniuk and Arianne Caoili (Though not a GM) are most responsible for exciting chess fans and chess players alike.
I dont watch chess to be honest.
Most dangerous player was Fischer, after that TAL.
Emanuel Lasker was dangerous as well. He was decades ahead of his time.
As for linking openings to certain types of endings I give the nod to Akiba Rubenstien.
For smooth cool play I give the nod to Capablanca.
For creativity and immense positional as well as tactical talent I go with Bronstien and Paul Keres.
For cheating on a high level back in the day of the Russian supremacy I go with the GMS that threw thier games in tournaments to other russian players so as to attempt to beat Robert James Fischer.
For my admiration of russian players my tops are Bronstien, Tal ,Keres and Geller..
For greatest chess geniuses ever I go with Fischer ,Capablanca ,Morphy, Charoseuk, Akiba and Pillsbury.
For most disliked by me I go with Karpov, Botvinnik and Petrosian.
For nicest and best chess writer I go with David Bronstien.---Six
For greatest to have never won the TITLE
I go with Akiba Rubinstein, Carl Schlechtor, Harry Nelson Pillsbury, Reuben Fine , Paul Keres, David Bronstien and Gata Kamsky..
"For most disliked by me I go with Karpov, Botvinnik and Petrosian."
You can't hate Petorsian, he was one of the great genii of the Russian Chess School. You can be bored by him if you don't understand, but you can't hate him. Karpov and Botvinnik had their... unfortunate aspects, but their wasn't anything bad about the Iron Tiger except his feud with Korchnoi (Who I see is missing from your list).
And he was so unfairly victimized by the media.

This is very strong analysis. I would, however, add Regina Pokorna of Slovakia to this list.
Anatoly E. Karpov won most Tournaments and Matches!
So, he was been most dangerous Chess Player!
All other stays far away for him on Chess battle of the Titans...

Thanks for posting Greg, everything's much clearer now. 
Paul Keres is #2!
Are you remember, that Fisher did everything to avoid play young Karpov?!
And the players still think of the greatest Fisher in the Chess History...

sorry, but Aron Nimzowitsch said that
True, Nimzowitsch said it, after loosing one of his games!
The list of Karpov's results above is just a part of his more than 160 Winnings!

Well, let's at least admit that it's a matter of taste. For instance, when Karpov plays the move 22.g4! in the following game, it's all I can do to stop myself peeing my pants with excitement. It doesn't clobber you over the head with it's brilliance (like Tal's 15.Rxe6! against Myagmarsuren from the Nice Olympiad, which I can also deeply appreciate), but spend some time investigating it and it can't help but give you the shivers.

There have been many ex-patriot Russians (Lev Alburt, for instance) who tell of masters being flown to Moscow during Karpov's reign to be "strenuously questioned" about some opening innovation they came up with. Karpov was an incredible technician, but for creativity he was "barren as an infertile woman." I give him kudos for winning all those tourneys and matches, except for the fact that Fischer wasn't playing. I do not think Karpov's record would have been anywheres near as good had Fischer played. Dangerous players, to me, mean those who can come up with incredible moves over the board. Lasker was one of the best here, as was Bronstein, Tal, and Fischer (maybe the best ever). I don't include Kasparov since he, like Alekhine, did his serious work at home, not at the board with the clock ticking.
Hello Folks,
Who, in your opinion, was (or is) the GM that excites chess fans the most, and why?
