And so?Hmm during Kotov's time Kasparov is not yet a GM.
Kasparov is the greatest - GM Seirawan

So you are citing my Karpov quote and say it is wrong because Kasparov wasnt even a GM when in Kotovs times??? ;) i know what you mean but its still funny.

You are dealing w/ science fiction with this questions like this. Today's players have the advantage of all the analyzing that has been done since their time, a computerized society etc. Give Fischer or Morphy, or any of the earlier-day players that same equal background and see what will happen. It's of course impossible. Bingo!
ich nicht.

Da gibt es für mich keinen Zweifel, Bobby Fischer ist der beste Schachspieler aller Zeiten. Was er ohne Computer-Unterstützung aus den 64 Feldern hervorgezaubert hat, ist vom Talent her viel höher zu bewerten, als bei den besten Schachspieler der heutigen Zeit. Ich meine, man kann die besten Schachspieler aus dem Computer-Zeitalter gar nicht mit Bobby Fischer vergleichen. Man stelle sich mal vor, Fischer wäre heute im besten Schachalter, sein Abstand zum Rest der Schachwelt wäre auch heute genau so gross wie damals. Hypothetisch betrachtet, wer ist da anderer Meinung?
I protest the conspicuous lack of Anglicity in this passage!
Kasparov :D
Uh-oh, this is starting to remind me of this fellow:
but Fischer would be still better
Definetly Bobby FIscher, he sticked to the same openings and still was unbeatable. Yeah it must be Fischer, who else can be so predictable but still unstoppable. It must be Fischer.
Ficher didn't always stick to the same opening.
Against 1.d4 Fischer mainly used either the KID or the Gruenfeld.
Against 1.e4, he would play mostly 1....c5, but also 1.....e5. Or even 1....Nf6, for variety.
Of course with the white pieces, we know he loved 1.e4. Although he played 1.c4 a couple times against Spassky.
