No contest, Anand is good but Fischer was a genius.
It's too bad Fischer died before this could have been played out. This would have made the chess world explode, and the media would have played attention to chess once again.
Oh yeah, Fischer would kick ass in 960. He's older and less sharp but he's the greatest all-time in tactical thinking.
Fischer showed in 1992 that he was still capable of brilliant chess games. He also showed that the overall quality of his chess was NOT consistent with the top levels of that day.
Fischer would have gotten creamed.
Fischer in his prime against Anand in his prime... that would have been a great match. Fischer in his 60's against Anand... might very well have been painful to watch.
It says there that before his death....
I have no doubt that Fischer would have beat Anand at both types of chess. There never was before and never will be another chess genius of Fischer's caliber. Even Paul Morphy, Capablanca, Samuel Revhesky , Akiba Rubinstien fall short!!!--SIX
Viswanathanย anand wouldย win Bobbyย FIscherย easily because Mikhail Tal betย Bobbyย Fischer in aย tournamentย butย Anandย won soย manyย gamesย againstย Mikhail tal.Butย Iย amย realย fan ofย Mikhailย Tal
Bobby Fischer was not yet Bobby Fischer when Tal beat him in the 50's.
Tal was no longer Tal when Anand beat him in the 80's.
This proves nothing.
It is the province of great men to have great faults.

Well, I have great faults, so that means I must be...well...draw your own conclusions.
