I was proffesional chess player(more tactician player than strategy player) .My favorite players are Fisher,Tal,Kasparov,Alechin....... Tal was greatest (amazing) tactician player.Fisher is master of tactic and strategy too.He is best of the best.

Fischer is a chess phenomenon, not just a very powerful player...He 'conquered' the game itself at his best. The same happen in kasparov's and karpov's era; they were unstoppable...Now we have anand & kramnik (i hope morozevich continues his punches :) ) to rule the chess world... In the past we had lasker, steinitz, capablanca & aljehin. But there was only one player in history, who smashed his opponents with ridiculus ease.Players feared him, doesnt played him except with extra piece..P.M.

Yes, I agree but of course Fischer inventend chess new in the seventies while having studied deeply the achievements of the chess masters of the past. The chess world never before and after Fischer saw such a devotion to chess in a highly gifted person. THIS I guess makes him immortal.Well, take a look at "Schachversand Niggemann". Under the keyword Morphy you will find 16 entries in the books section.

Fisher too was also a master of a new generation. He was 15 when he became a GM. He was the top player in the US by the age of 13. On the world championship he dominated the GMs of his day beating the russian and danish GMs 6-0. Such was unheard of at the time. Poor Bobby self distructed due to mental illness. Perhaps if he was given help when he needed it the most we could have an answer on who was better.

karpow was a chessplayer of a new generation! his chess had hardly weaknesses.a nightmare for any attking chessplayer. kasparov may be the best player in history of chess, played 4 world championships and altogether 173 games against karpow. kasparows advance was very little what reveals a lot about karpows playing ability. after kasparow he was the strongest grand master of the 80s and much to strong for fischer.

morphy is one of my favorite players too.

I'm going with both of you. Sorry = /

fischer was brilliant so was kasparov but morphy is the greatest ever.
