Most natural talent ever, living or dead. Fictional time travel tournament 2026. Who wins?

Here are the rules. We resurrect and time travel some legends of the past and they are all magically 30 years old. Their 30 year old selves are all brought to 2021 and given 5 years to get caught up on modern theory and modern chess in general. All currently living participants are also now magically 30 years old. They are all equally motivated and all of their bills are paid for, so they can devote at least 8 hours per day to study. After the 5 years to get ready, they travel to Wijk Ann Zee for the big tournament in 2026 where they will play a quadruple round robin. (They all play each other 4 times. 2 games as white and 2 games as black). Time control is 90+30 with an additional 40 minutes after move 40. Which players would finish in the top 5 in this super tournament?? Please list them from 1st place to 5th place. Our 22 contestants are...

Paul Morphy
Wilhelm Steinitz
Emanuel Lasker
Akiba Rubinstein
José Raúl Capablanca

The person that would win would have to be insanely driven and insanely talented. So Bobby would win.

Bobby Fischer would win if he had the motivation to learn tons of modern theory like you said they would. He was super dominant for his time, and while you might say Morphy was like that too, there's a good chance he would have trouble as the talents of top players now are very different than they used to be.

Max Deutsch

4Kasparov
5Carlsen

60 year old lasker was everyone s nightmare he should be much more stronger when he was 30 years old . openings were his only weakness . He is most underrated world champion

My bad, it is most definitely Max Deutsch, forgot about him lol

Pillsbury waltzes in and beats everyone. I'm pretty sure that he could've memorized every chess game ever, given five years to prepare.

This is a tough one, I will have to go with Paul Morphy, Capablanca or Fischer. Hard to choose between them but Paul Morphy is probably the most talented player ever.
