Exactly. These are the same as the discussions about who is the GOAT in the basketball world. In chess we have an advantage in that we can analyze with computers, but invariably there is always some different variable that mixes up the order depending on how you program the analysis or what algorithms you use. But invariably you get some mix of Fischer, Kasparov, Karpov, Capablanca, Botvinnik, Alekhine, Lasker, and a few others, and then Carlsen gets thrown in the mix as well. It is an argument that will likely never be settled. For me the top 3 of all time, in order, are Fischer, Kasparov and Capablanca. Top 5 would include Carlsen and Karpov. Of course, as always, imho.

For me, the best is still the man who went ten years without losing a game, and by most accounts didn't take the game nearly as seriously as his peers: Capablanca. He was so good that both Lasker and Alekhine spent a few years avoiding a challenge from him. Who knows what he would havbe accomplished in the modern era, with computer assistance during training?

Just like basketball, it very hard to compare players of different eras. Maybe Morphy really was the greatest ever.

I'm following suggestions Enes provided and am now able to do diagrams fairly easily and quickly. From now on I'll try to provide diagrams unless I log in from my phone, then it's still move only.
