Anastasia's mate isn't the reason Carlsen's the greatest ever. If any single game were to show that, it would probably be one of his numerous wins in dead even positions against +2700 strength opposition.

From what I've read about Fischer there was an certain aura about him that would "drain" the opponent. A kind of dynamic energy that could paralyze an opponent. Many players testified to this. It was difficult to win a game from Fischer.

At even younger than 15 Carlsen already can play the champion Kasparov to a draw. Fischer also was going toe to toe with tal. It's tough to say. Maybe Magnus is just better and I'm a Fischer fan

There must be something wrong with you if I think Carlsen hasn't done anything. That said, you make a good point about computers. In fact its just the point I would make.
Fischer was better looking for sure. Magnus looks like he was slapped a few too many times with the ugly stick.

Never bash a dead man. Bobby was Bobby and Magnus was Magnus. Within their time frame of play is one argument. But to talk about it is a waste of time. We must look to the future. Do not ask me to choose, I think you know the answer. Regards

Is he not exciting? I find his style of play so original and innovative. It is worth a look. People could learn from his innovative way of playing positions. I guess to each his own, but I'm not sure who you are comparing him to.

In my opinion I have to look within myself. I came back to this game as an avid player and found a web site that provides that opprotunity to me 43 years later. Back in my memory in that time was players like ..Karpov, Kasparov, Fischer, and Spassky. Yes the Russians where on top of there game. And then there was Bobby. In that time frame it was old school. No computers, just notation and study. BTW lets not forget Paul Morphy. I think he was USA also. I am far from an historian on the game but do like the history from what little I know. We must remember that at that time of play was much different than taday. So many more tools are available than what the old school players had at hand. You can probably blame Blue for that. COMPUTERS! it did set the pace for the future of players for this day and age. But then again it does take a high mentalltiy to gain the recognition of a well advanced player even today. Either way we as players should appreciate the game even today for it's passion, dramma, and what we as players still enjoy today.

Chess_is_my_Heaven, thank you sir. It is only my thought from my past. As I deal with my own demons of the game I will prevail. The past does predict my future. I still think that Fischer was an amazing player of this country. I will not say he was the best of all time but then again it was in his time. But we must think about the times as it is. You can run a game in secounds while viewing an opponent. And trust me that is a big advantage today. We can go back to the 1800's even before that time frame and what would the skill set be if that was possible? All I am trying to say is the times change for methods of play for a particular game or any venue you can come up with. Chess is no different. The problem for me is I chose this game to bring back into my life. As said before, The drama, etc. The learning curve is the best for any player.And it is really not a problem, it is a joy.

I watched Magnus destroy Ivanchuk from an even position today. If anything, Chukky may have even had the better position.
The only player in the history of chess who is anywhere close to Magnus is Kasparov.
Magnus is the best player to have ever played the game.

Forgive me all! I did fail to mention about Magnus. I tip me hat to him. Sorry to sound more about Bobby but I am from old school for my time. Im not a great chess player but enjoy the game like we all do. About Magnus, amazing player has eyes like a "HAWK" and wonder how a game between him and Anotoly would turn out. But this day and age of the game I would have to ask ........Will he have a "Mental Burn Out" period? Keep in mind, this game if you live it and do nothing but play it and there is 64 squares on the board with 32 pieces with X number of possibilities, you do the math. The good thing is as all great players he was young when he started. Just my thought. Take care all!
You must take into account that a player at any time, if they play, can keep up or even better the competition... from Morphy to Fisher to Kasparov to Carlsen. A GM or a World Champion can move forward from any particular point of knowledge. We all can learn even at 90! I'm 71 and I play chess six hours a day and I still learn. Today's puzzle is a great example of the power of a Knight postioned properly.

Petrosian is one of the most important players in chess history. Any fan of Karpov or Nimzo should also be a fan of Petrosian. Karpov took Petrosian's style and added an incredible will to win instead of draw. Petrosian all but invented a whole array of exchange sacs which took Nimzo's ideas to a new level.
Petrosian's games are truly amazing. I have Shekhtman's two volume collection of Petrosian's games and still go through them occasionally.
I was going to give some examples, but then I ran across this article by a young GM which illustrates my point even better. Today's young players also study Petrosian!

Grammaticaly I guess it would be more correct to say ''each player would have one year to prepare''. :)
