Chess players known for specific things: Attacking

The list for GOAT chess players is highly debated, and every person has their own. I am not here to debate that, however here's my list of chess players known for excelling so much in different parts of chess, that their name is synonymous with it.

Attacking creatively-The most obvious part of chess in the Romantic era, and an important one even nowadays. 

Honourable Mentions:

• Garry Kasparov

Another GOAT contender, Kasparov's calculational ability was what aided most of his exceptional sacrifices. Unfortunately, he made too many sound sacrifices.(joke)

• David Bronstein

• Paul Morphy

Moving on, we have,

5.Lionel Kieseritzky

The most topical variation of the King's Gambit is named after him, apart from THAT he has played some insanely complex games with the same opening.

Here is an example of the madness:

 

5. ... h5 has actually been debunked by engines, but the fact that he beat it more than a century ago is pretty awesome. 

This isn't even the tip of how insane it can go. Check out his games to really understand how good he was.

 4. This one is debatable, but

Bobby Fischer

Yes, he is easily in the top three best chess players of all time, but he was just really good  at EVERYTHING. The other entries on this list mostly jump to my mind before Fischer's name does, so I put him at number 4

 

 3. Alexei Shirov

He literally wrote a book titled, 'Fire On The Board', so I think his name here is justified

 

 2.Rashid Nezhmetdinov

I think a lot of you know why his name is here. Hint(Qf6).

1. Mikhail Tal aka the Magician of Riga

Recognisable Tal (above) and younger Tal(below)

Yes, this list was compiled with Tal decided the winner at the start itself, but I am sure it is justified. He did have a lot of unsound sacrifices, but that doesn't change the fact that won the game. And quite simply, in his own words,  "There are two types of sacrifices, correct ones, and mine."

His games are simply fun to go through, whether I understand them or not.

Personally I would like to put Keiseritzsky higher up, but the fact that Garry Kasparov himself is 'only' an honourable mention, really tells how competitive this list was.
