Fischer was clearly more dominant at the very peak, but one must realize this dominance was very short in time, lasting from 1971 to 1972. Kasparov wasn’t as far ahead of his rivals, but his period at the top was much longer- 1985 til he lost in 2000 at a minimum, and I personally think he was the world’s best player right up until he retired from competitive chess.

No doubt Nakamura.
