Best Answer

I believe the best Chess player of all time is Bobby Fischer as he can remember every detail of the games he played.That is a very heated subject. If you were to say any of these names, few people would argue much:

Jose Raul Capablanca

Dr. Emanuel Lasker

Robert James Fischer

Garry Kasparov

Dr. Alexander A. Alekhine

Anatoly Karpov

Dr. Mikhail Botvinnik

Tigran Petrosian

Mikhail Tal
Garry Kasparov .

In chess you have 2 ways of indicating how good you are. Your ELO rating(for every game you win you get points) and the world championship.

Viswanathan Anand is the current chess world champion.

Magnus Carlsen is the one with the highest ELO rating.

One of the 2 (probably Anand)

I assume you mean all time. Tough and entirely theoretical question. I say that Gary Kasparov is the best Chess player of all time after going over many of his games yet others have claimed that Bobby Fischer is the best player of all time. Some people even claim that the 19th century genius Paul Morphy is the best player of all time however strong players with this opinion are few and far between.

Gary Kasparov .

A quote from Wikipedia:

"Kasparov's ratings achievements include being rated world #1 according to Elo rating almost continuously from 1986 until his retirement in 2005 and holding the all-time highest rating of 2851.[3] He was the world number-one ranked player for 255 months, by far the most of all-time and nearly three times as long as his closest rival, Anatoly Karpov. He also holds records for consecutive tournament victories and Chess Oscars." ~ Wikipedia

This is strictly an opinion, but many think Garry Kasparov is the best ever chess player. But then Emanuel Lasker held the title for more years than he did.
