interesting.. or umm.. it would be if it was said by anyone other than fischer.. the guy who thought he could refute the KG immediately after losing to it. The guy who hated jews, americans, and everyone inbetween... I don't look at him as a credible source.

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.
Originally posted by Restless SoulI'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...

Originally posted by jvanhineI'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.
can fisher still play?? 😛
