Best Chess Player (objectively)

Kasparov is the best player ever doesn't matter what the engines say!

If Carlsen is still world champion in 15 years time he might have over taken him :)
In my opinion, I agree with you. But Capablanca made fewer blunders and more "best move"s during his career than Kasparov. Those criteria definitely stand for something.
Carlsen often makes intentional sub-optimal moves in order to get out of draw-friendly positions. This analysis does not take that into account. He is also not the only player to have done this.
