Fischer

Josh would win! Josh is Fischer and Kasparov rolled into one very intelligent human being. If you do not know of Josh Waitzkin keep your attention on the world championship. He will be the next american to win. If not josh then, it will be one of his students for shure.

If you would like to know more about Josh Waitzkin go to amazon.com and look up The Art of Learning and the many other books he has written in his young age.

If you gave Fischer his 10-win rules, the only question is whether the match would last 10 or 11 games.

I think the real question is if Waitzkin managed to somehow get a draw, what would Fischer say is to blame?

Sometimes navigation isn't as forthright as it should be.

Thanks for this post i needed a good laugh today. Waitzkin would not stand a chance against Fischer or Kasparov He is a long way from being the top American player and certainly nowhere near the strenght of a World class player.To say he would be the next American to win the title is a joke.

The next american to win the title would be Kamsky or Nakamura Wink

And I think that there are better american chess authors than Waitzkin:

* Boris Gulko

* Fred Reinfeld

* Reuben Fine

If some want to say that Waitzkin help many people because of his book and his work in chessmaster grandmaster edition, he would have to consider that the impact by Reinfeld alone is much bigger on chess players on the US and the entire World.

Waitzkin is retired, and now he does MMA or something. As for my choice, seeing as Fischer was probably 300+ points above Waitzkin and was, at a point, the best player in the world... I choose Fischer.

He does Tai Chi, not MMA.

Actually, he practices a number of different martial arts.

A mix, if you will.

TheGrobe

Yeah, you could say that.

Gracie jiu-jitsu is the style he teaches at the NYC studio he runs with his partner.  Or at least that's what I've read. Martial arts studios come and go though, so who knows.

EricFleet

I can beat Fischer as he always lets the time run out on his clock.

Look up Josh Waitzkin and then talk.

Not for nothing, but Waitzkin is cool, while Fischer was megadorky.
