Capa.

In terms of pure elo, undisputedly Magnus.

In terms of world championship, probably Kasparov.

Fischer was way ahead of his time but didn't persist in chess for long.

Lasker is one of the strongest GOAT candidates for sure, but it was many decades since Tal ranked Lasker first. If Tal was alive today he might well see some of the post-1960s players as greater than Lasker.

Of all time?

Bertrand Mignolet. GM from 2785-2835.

50 years, never lost a single match.

I am a time-traveller.
