Does that change the fact that he was one of the world's most brilliant chess players and that he knew the game better than anyone of his time?

Tal is an amazing player. But in terms of 'best', I would look at who made the best move most often. From that perspective it's Capablanca without a doubt. In terms of ratings, it's Kasparov.

Any of those three could fairly be called 'best'. Tal, Capablanca, or Kasparov.
I don't know about you, but I would kill to see a Fischer-Kasparov best ever match..those two are always talking trash about each other

I'd like to think kasparov would trash him. Kasparov is a reasonably good defender and a lot of fischers attacks did more harm than good if perfectly refuted. Just my opinion...

I'm sure he's still pretty good. Not as good as at his peak, since your chess skill starts deteriorating around the age of 40 to 45. But I'd guess he's still pretty strong. I doubt that Fischer will ever play strong opposition publicly again. He seems to be afraid of losing.
