Garry Kasparov: Kasparov dominated the chess world in the late 20th century and held the World Chess Championship title from 1985 to 2000. He was known for his aggressive and dynamic style of play and achieved numerous tournament victories.
Anatoly Karpov: Karpov was a formidable player who held the World Chess Championship title from 1975 to 1985. He was known for his solid and positional style, and his matches against Kasparov are considered some of the most epic battles in chess history.
Bobby Fischer: Fischer became the World Chess Champion in 1972 after defeating Boris Spassky. He brought a new level of creativity and preparation to the game. Fischer's brilliant play and his contribution to popularizing chess in the United States have earned him a place in chess history.
Magnus Carlsen: Carlsen is the current World Chess Champion, having held the title since 2013. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional skills and has a unique ability to convert even the smallest advantages into wins. Carlsen's intuitive play and versatility have earned him a place among the all-time greats.
It's important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and other players have also left their mark on the game. The concept of the "GOAT" in chess remains a subject of debate and personal opinion, and different players may have their opnions
ChatGPT is pretty smart...
Magnus, with Kasparov as a close second imo

I'm not so sure. Kasparov has so many years as World Champion, so many title defences, so many tournament wins and he spent like 255 months (or about 21 years) as number 1 by elo. Whether Magnus can reach anything like that is really hard to say, particularly since he has given up the title.
Stop talking nonsense you lot
George Flibblewhibble has never lost even one game to all the other patzers you are talking about..ever !

Magnus, Garry Chess, or Robert James. Karpy is close, but not quite in the top 3
