G.O.A.T.
Capablanca was too lazy to be my favourite. He was a brilliant and efficient natural but he lacked a sort of drive to truly seek perfection. I think Fischer really tried for it but he was a nutter.

Capablanca lacked a curiosity for the game that captured the likes of Botvinnik, Fischer and Kasparov. Maybe it was too easy for Capa, as he was such an effortless player - of course all those top level players weren't truly effortless but I mean by comparison, like Federer to Nadal.

Also, sometimes the tweener is the more efficient choice.
That's what made Capablanca special. He was mainly a product of genius rather than hard work or extensive training.
