Who is your favorite player and why?

Who is your favorite player and why? I like Carlsen because his games are easy to understand and straight forward. Also I like Kramnik because he has a nice attitude.

Kasprov used to be my fav player because he is (was) an attacking player

Jose Raul Capablanca! He made chess seem easy and understandable. Before I go to a tournament, I always play over Capablanca's Best 100 Games.

Have you read Fischer's My 60 Memorable Games? It's also very instructive and the game are easy to understand (no long variations) so you might like it.

I haven't read My 60 Memorable Games yet. It has withstood the test of time, so it won't be long before I check it out. Thanks, I almost forgot about that book. I know Fischer was a great player but his attitude has kinda stopped me from studying his games. I cant let that affect me if I want to improve and a study of his games seems essential.

I love Carlsen because just as you, I understand his games. He seems to play simple great chess. But Kasparov is still my favorite. We will see, maybe Carlsen will become my fave in a few years.

I still love to study the old school masters. I also love going over Akiba Rubinstein's games.
