Bobby Fischer vs Magnus Carlsen

Who would win if Bobby Fischer could play Magnus Carlsen???

By the way this would be a 10 minute game so keep that in mine

Magnus Carlsen = 2828

Bobby Fisher = 2785

Now that would have been a thrilling contest, one of the best tacticians against one of the best grinders. Imagine the sparks that would fly with Fischer attacking Carlsen’s Rossilimo Sicilian.

Complicado debate

Probably white.

There are more errors in this sentence than words.

Magnus would win, because he has years of engine study to enhance his GM ability. Study of best moves and accuracy improves play. Bobby wouldn't have that to draw upon. Another issue was BF was very unstable emotionally, were Magnus isn't as much. All these factors combined together put BF at a disadvantage right from the start. Another issue is Magnus has more games played and won against GMs and super GMs like Hikaru, experience matters and while BF had a amazing win streak its still not close to Magnus.
