When you say Kasparov's immortal, i presume you mean his game with Topalov? Personally, i think Kasparov has a better game. This win against Kramnik, imho, is the best game of chess i have ever seen!
Edit: I don't know why i get this tune in my head when ever i see this game.. [/youtube]
It's not a fair comparison. Fischer's got its label from some IM that was overly excited to see a 13 year old upset a GM. Kaspy's was chosen when he was at his full strength, and playing against one of the (other) strongest players in the world.
Fischer played several games that were better than the "Game of the Century" in the 1971 candidates matches and 1972 world championship.
Here is the game commonly known as Fischer's Game of the Century, played in 1956 when Fischer was 13. His opponent, Donald Byrne, had placed 3d in the US Open the year before, half a point behind Reshevsky and Rossolimo (tied 1 -2) and would place 2d the year after (half a point behind Bisguier).

Originally posted by mghrn55That's a tough call. I suppose it's a matter of taste. I'd give a slight edge to Kasparov's game simply because he was playing against an opponent that was a little stronger (in my opinion) than Fischers. Seeing these two in a world championship match in their prime would definitely be the greatest match ever.
Just tossing it out there !!

Fischer's game acquired the title because he was so young, and at the time it was considered a miracle to see an American boy play like this. If it was done by some Russian in Pioneer's Home in Moscow, it would be considered a normal result of Soviet Chess Drill...
Nevertheless, Fischer is symbol of chess for me, and I never understood Kasparov - he is untouchable. Those names are always arbitrary, and comparisons are impossible. Matter of taste.
