The question you must ask yourself is :

Do I like what I see in the chess mirror ?

What chess Legacy will I leave in the World ?

How will my favourite ideas,novelties and openings survive ?

Will my games stand the TEST OF TIME??!!

The Worldchampion I adore the most is ROBERT JAMES FISCHER.His amazing series of wins over taimanov,larsen and petrosian in the candidates and then demolition of the great SPASSKY in WC 1972.The first time i heard of the word chess around 2001,i heard the name FISCHER too.If i become something good enough to be asked,WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK,i would always reply that FISCHER'S My Sixty Memorable Games was my bedside book.

But I believe that Kasparov was the strongest player ever.Partly because of the advancement in modern technology which played a significant role in understanding chess better and partly because of his workaholism and 100% professionalism towards chess,GARRY raised the level of chess to another platform.

I am also a fan of VISHY ANAND,who is from my own country.Also enjoy looking at games of ANATOLY KARPOV and VLADIMIR KRAMNIK.Games of TAL,PETROSIAN AND SPASSKY in their peak eyes still widen my eyes.BOTVINNIK's deep strategic plans and iron consistent logic and SMYSLOV's deep endgame knowledge were lessons to be grasped.Who can not enjoy the games of CAPABLANCA and ALEKHINE.And this explains that,My favourite book till date is MY GREAT PRESDESSORS 1-5.Must thank GARRY more than anyone else.
