Tal
Born: November 9, 1936 in Riga, Latvia
Died: June 28, 1992 in Moscow, Russia
Playing Style and Legacy:
Mikhail Tal his imaginative, aggressive attacking play was difficult for opponents to resist. He would often make speculative sacrifices -- sometimes sound, sometimes not -- that would force his opponents to solve difficult problems. Rather than concern himself with playing the objectively "best" moves, Tal seeked to find moves that his opponents wouldn't be able to deal with.
Spassky
Opening Wide Scope. Wide opening experience classics with shallow scope. He would creat midgame positions that was good in development and good to attack from. ((Boris Spassky was a well-rounded champion who excelled in all areas of the game. He was not an opening expert in terms of depth of knowledge, but he did play a wide variety of systems well throughout his career. His play was flexible and adaptable to the situation at hand, which made him a difficult opponent to prepare for.))
Attacking. He had a flare for conbinations second only to stainitz. One attack to another. He would build mounting pressure and position a few majur peices then attack one to another in conbo.

Patrosian
Born: June 17, 1929 in Tbilisi, Georgia (USSR)
Died: August 13, 1984 in Moscow, Russia
Playing Style and Legacy:
Petrosian
Opening. Closed games that squeezed and cramped opponents position and maneuverability capabilities. He would set opening traps and wait for opponent to falter.
Tigran Petrosian was known for his incredible defensive capabilities, which made him among the most difficult players to defeat in the history of chess. This style earned him the nickname "Iron Tigran." Of course, as a World Champion, Petrosian was strong in all aspects of the game; but his ability to sense tactical danger and maintain the safety of his position is what stands out when looking at his games. Rather than look to land a spectacular finishing blow, Petrosian was satisfied with accumulating small advantages and winning strategically.
Fischer
Born: March 9, 1943 in Chicago, USA
Died: January 17, 2008 in Reykjavik, Iceland
Playing Style and Legacy:
Bobby Fischer is usually found near the top of lists of the all-time greatest chess players. For a short period of time (roughly from 1970-1972), he was as dominant as any player has ever been over other world-class competition. His energetic style was designed to put maximum pressure on his opponents; combined with his near flawless technique and his insatiable desire to finding winning chances in each game, this made him a difficult opponent to face psychologically for many players.
Fischer was known for his deep opening preparation, so it comes as no surprise that he made many contributions to opening theory. He also made other innovations, such as Fischer Random Chess (today better known as Chess960) and the Fischer chess clock. His insistence that chess players perform under more professional conditions helped raise the amount of money and prestige for elite chess players as well.
Unfortunately, Fischer's legacy was tarnished by his anti-Semitic views as well as his reclusive nature after winning
Kasparov
Born: April 13, 1963 in Baku, Azerbaijan
Playing Style and Legacy:
Garry Kasparov was known as a dynamic, aggressive and energetic player -- a style that has made him very popular among chess fans. While his long reign as the world's top player and World Champion rank him at or near the top of most all-time greatest player lists, he may be best known to the general public for his 3.5-2.5 (+1 -2 =3) match loss to the computer Deep Blue, the first time a World Chess Champion was defeated in match play by a computer. His relatively early retirement from chess has left him with more time to write and involve himself in Russian politics.
Karpov
Playing Style and Legacy:
Karpov is known as a positional player, one who looked to squeeze every small advantage out of a position and torture his opponent by building pressure. This logical, strategic style made Karpov very difficult to defeat, as he rarely went for complex tactical lines or made major errors, preferring to gain a slight edge with no chance of defeat.
Lasker
Playing Style and Legacy:
In his time, Lasker was seen as a "psychological" player, who played inferior moves to throw his opponents off. However, this assessment is probably incorrect; Lasker was simply pragmatic, and would play moves that violated general principles if he felt they were appropriate for the given position.
Lasker held the World Chess Championship for longer than any other player in history. His long stretch of dominant play finds him near the top of most lists of the all-time greatest chess players.
Steinitz
Playing Style and Legacy:
Steinitz is seen as the founder of the positional chess school. His play was a sharp change from the romantic, attacking chess popular throughout most of the 19th century. In fact, Steinitz too played this style of chess early in his career, but came to believe (correctly) that subtle, safe, positional play was necessary for truly mastering chess. At first, other top players found his theories strange, but proof of their validity came through Steinitz's match victories.
At times, Steinitz's revolutionary style was also his greatest weakness. He often felt the need to dogmatically defend his approach, even playing inferior moves and positions to prove his theories were correct through experimentation.
Morphy was far ahead of his time, a forerunner of modern chess masters. His understanding of positional concepts seemingly came naturally, as they were not widely accepted until many years after he had left competitive chess.
Many of Morphy's best known victories came in open games, and ended with spectacular sacrifices. His domination in open, tactical games combined with his deeper positional knowledge set him far apart from his contemporaries. He rarely blundered, despite playing much faster than his opponents.
Morphy was also known for his resourcefulness; his rivals found him difficult to defeat even on the rare occasions when they had a superior position. This helped Morphy win games even in the closed positions where his play was weakest.
