We had already the question, who is/was the best non-world champion grandmaster.
Lets see who the Queen Alice members vote as the best GM ever.
One vote only for each.

I vote for Bobby Fisher.

p.s. Only vote for your GrandMother if she is a damm good chess-player.

Leo junior III

Such a hard question...

Bring Morphy forward and sit him down across the board from Anand or Kramnik, and I think he'd be destroyed... Modern players are building on a foundation of an extra hundred years of theory and analysis.

However, who knows how good Morphy (or anyone else) would be if he traveled into the future and had time to benefit from modern theory and tools!

Back to your question: I think Fischer might well have been the most gifted. But, he vanished into thin air and never solidified his place in history.

I think Kasparov is the right answer, though that may change if Kramnik re-takes the title from Anand. (http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3455)
