    My favorite is probably Tal, but who doesn't love Tal? Fischer is probably my second favorite but I'm American so I Kind of feel obligated to have him in my fav's XD

    I like Tal because he made the game fun, don't get me wrong chess has always been fun, but when you get people like Fischer who are a little robotic in their play Tal really lightens it up (imo)

    Anatoly Karpov is my favorite. He's given a lot of time and effort back to the chess playing community. (You sure can't say the about Fischer!)😏

    Emanuel Lasker is my personal favorite. He was Tal's favorite chess player as well.

    My favorite is Capablanca. Rubinstein's best games are wonderful. And I have a soft spot for Euwe.

    Of modern players I like Short and Kramnik.
