Then maybe see if there's a different type of poll that allows more than that.

There are many different voting polls just like this online.

I looked a while back and the only other option was google forms, I'll go make one on that.

Nope, there weren't enough places to put options.

I updated it.

Shouldn't all these types of polls be asking 'Who is/was the best, so far?"

MIKHAIL TAL THE TRUE GOAT. HE PLAYED FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED HIS OPPONENTS

If I transported back in time to the 1800s then I would be seen as one of the goats.

That's how bad they were back then. Capablanca was probably 1800 rated.

These people rode a horse into their chess tournaments and probably couldn't write the notation down because they're illiterate.

By the time white writes down 1.d4 black probably died of the plague.

It depends on what aspect of the game were talking about

Thats a tough one, but if we acknowledge evolution as we certainly must, then that would be Magnus. However, he would never be able to play without the benefit of the great players that precede him. I assume the character who claims Capablanca would be a 1800 player today said that tongue in cheek and trust we read/hear it likewise.
All that being said NO ONE ever dominated his opponents like Fischer did when he played 19 games without even allowing a "draw"...And this was during the "Candidates" tourney and matches. Thats akin to a baseball pitcher pitching 3-4 no hitters in a row.
Kasparov is my personal vote for greatest and that has to do as much with his overall contribution to chess as his actual playing. NO ONE has done for chess what he has, ie. his books regarding both his own influences "AND" his contemporaries, not to mention his matches with Karpov which still are the most extensive annotated matches since Botvinnik-Smyslov.
Just sayin

Because yes.
