If, and as always with Bobby, it is a BIG if this goes ahead, who do we think will win?
My heart say Fischer
but . . . . . . . . . .

I believe this is Gothic Chess

Fscher's brain is fried. Won't happen but if it does Karpov will win.

Fischer might win.

Then again, Karpov might.

Then again, they might never play.

Karpov? He was a veteran when I was a kid, how old is he these days?

I say it is unfair to determine that Fischer's brain is fried because no one really knows that, we don't know if he can still play or not! He is crazy in my opinion but that doesn't mean his brain is fried! Some of the most brilliant poeple are crazy! So I say it's a 50-50 shot either way!

Karpov will win because he is younger (ie not so "tired"😉 and has more relevant recent experience.

Is there a real match in the works or is this another fantasy match on the level of 'lets pitch Capablanca at his peak vs Morphy at his' kind of thing?

I say Fischer is champ until proven otherwise.
