Bobby Fischer

what do you think?

i think he is the best player in the history of chess

Why? He did not defend his tittle, he won it vs. tired Spassky, and he was nuts.

I would say Capablanca = Kasparov

Spassky was tired at age 35 ?!  Odd. Well he must have been exhausted when he won the USSR championship in 1973 ahead of Karpov and other USSR greats !? 

Tired of Fischer shenanigans.

Fischer was just better than Spassky, and thats why Bobby won, even Spassky has said so...... he didnt mention being tired either. 

12 O'Clock. Church. Be there...

hang on guys...let me measure you up first.

+1

But best ever in history of chess?

Meet at a church for a fight ?!  Something wrong with this picture... 

 nah wrong statment for Fischer.

What use is another thread on this topic?

To educate the ignorants who haven't read all the other Fischer threads?

Fischer was great, among others.

Spassky too, despite his nature to enjoy the non-chess parts of life.

Truth is   " best ever " is completely subjective as there is no way to prove who was and there are many who believe Fischer was the best ever, I am one of them. 

Guys, stop argueing over a thing like that. It`s like somebody  asked, who`s better, Mozart or Beethoven;). The fact is, he was a genius.

 I think a better statement would be "Bobby Fischer was the best ever in his time during the 60's and 70's" 

I don't know about that! Speak!

I heard Spassky loved playing tennis.

Let's just say that Boris appreciated women more than Bobby did ... 

Spassky was great for his time, but against the modern day chess theory we have now, I think he would be no better than the average 2700 player you see nowadays.

Also Fischer was probably about as good as Anand or Karpov. Not even close to Kasparov.

...and wine, and convivial company with it.
