One WC win does not make anyone the best ever.

I agree Fischer did very well to succeed given the Russian dominance in Chess, but in reality this in no way compares to Kasparov - rated world No. 1 according to Elo rating almost continuously from 1986 until his retirement in 2005.


are you kidding, Fischer was years ahead, he was way stronger....

look at his games, you cant even compare that.

you cant make stuff like that up, if someone comes is as strong as Fischer, no matter how long you play you never are as good.

Kasparov is a nice person and stuff, but Fischer was just way better.

KASPAROV WAS BETTER THEN FISCHER

you are the one that doesnt accept opinions, you just say it like its a clear fact.

But still you can be a strong practical player and beat all knowledge, look Nakamura he can play the oldest openings in the world and beat all GMS...

You would look rather silly if you took the newest openings and he would play some weird opening. he has beaten many GMs with bad theory, with refuted theory... considered bad and outdated.

There is a living proof that its all crap and makes no sense what you say.

Nakamura has beaten Kramnik with the dutch defense, how bad do people consider the dutch defense?????

when was the last time the dutch was taken seriously???

are you kidding you think KAsparov can beat a much better player like Fischer, because chess moved on???

that is a hilarious claim and i cant stop laughing

just stop it stupid

Bobby Fischer. If he had the technology of today he would reach 2900 before Magnus.

yeah right.kasparov would easily do that in an hour

JonHutch

Kasparov only retired in 2005 and by then computers were already better than humans. Bobby had no computers and nearly passed 2800.

who is your dad?

I don't think you know him. I just have different standards than what the title of this thread might imply. I don't value a player by his skill, but rather his personality.

Grundelplith_MD

that is true.

Its amazing to me that people can consider a champion who wasnt able to win a single game in a 16 game match as a contender for " best ever " . Kasparov was unable to win even one game in his match with Kramnik in 2000 .  The same Kramnik that couldnt win a single game in his match against a Shirov who had never beaten Kasparov !  Kramnik didnt earn his shot at Kasparov and Shirov was robbed !

His left eye is just too spooky.

SheridanJupp

I mean "His" left eye.

Greasedlightnin

Looks like he lost the eyeball.

Yep, could've fooled a lot of people.

Fischer may have been the most talented or the most superior to his contempories, but Carlsen is in terms of skill and game quality the best ever.

Eseles

the best chess player ever?

 

no doubt about it

Bobby-Garry Eseles von Morphy de la Carlsen
