Hello! Who is your favorite Super GM and why? (brief explanation please)

HamaHam

Favorite Super GM: Varuzan Akobian.

Reason: He plays good positional and brilliant games, that are easy to understand and his online tutorials make it even easier.

My favourite Super GM is Sergey Karjakin, and before him, Vladimir Kramnik, now retired. I identify with these two players because of their solid style, the magnificence of their positional chess and despite being dynamic players, they never take risks. 

I can safely say that Vladimir Kramnik is my mentor at Ruy Lopez, Berlin variant. and that Karjakin has taught me how to defend with blacks like a titan. Simply, I love them. A calm, positional game and always with objectivity.

Yes. Both Kramnik and Karjakin are very good positional players. I am a tactical player, but these players's games make me like positional chess a lot!

@Athenathechesscub yes beliavsky is a great player and coach... although he isn’t considered a super gm he is as strong (and maybe even better than) as players like Hari Krishna, firoujza, etc

Kasparov is a chess veteran; literally  Dubov is lethal as well!
