Who do you think would win in a wrestling match: Bobby Fischer, Jose Capablanca, Garry Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, Vladimir Kramnik, Wilhelm Steinitz, Paul Morphy, or Aron Nimzowitch?

Fischer was hardly the only chessplayer in shape, pretty much everyone (after Botvinnik) made sure to take care of their body.

I'd bet my money on Botvinnik.

Fischer and Botvinnik should have had a long walk-off.

In the last few years of his life Fischer would have knocked the other seven out at once......with his armpits.

Seriously though, i reckon Kasparov, he looks to be quite strong!

I would have to go with Kasparov because he seems the smartest of the bunch.

i dont know for sure, but Kasparove and Fischer were no doubt very smart.  But Fischer emotionally was immature.  Anger and immaturity are sometines mistaken for toughness.  Kasparov takes em all.

very interesting question, why didn't i think of it???  During the "brawl" would the participants be allowed to use chess pieces as weapons????? the queen or king can be used like a knife in a fight, and a marble chess board could crack open a man's skull!!!!  yup why didn't i think of this??!!

Hey, Ringwraith(someone), I would recommend you fighting Fischer and seeing you lose.
