Who is the best player ever?

Fischer learned without computers and algebraic chess notation. They won all Russians in a cold snap of politics. Let's place everything in context
Morphy is the guy for me, majority of his games feature pure tactical brutallity.
It can be Carlsen if he keeps rocking on, the guy can be world champion for a few decades ..

If not, it has to be Fischer or Kasparov.
Capablanca was incredible too.

But, to me, a player like Morphy didn't face opponents strong enough to be considered as the best ever.
