Vishy Anand vs Bobby Fischer: Who would win?

I think Anand would win simply because he would have more knowledge of the game that Fischer didn't have since computers weren't any good when he was at his peak. Although I think Fischer worked harder at chess than anyone.

Vishy would win on move 1 (or on move 0 if he is black)

of course Anand had better tools. duh.

but isn't the point of such comparisons to judge who had more innate talent? to judge who would be better on an even playing field?

Faustino Oro has much better tools than Vishy did when he was 12.

Do you think Oro will be better than Vishy?

Anand is a nicer persona than Fischer was. That's what's important to me.

Faustino Oro is 0 times world champion. Robert Fischer was 1 times world champion. Vishy Anand was 5 times world champion. Do you need more math?

Anand ,easily; Fischer would have difficulty moving the pieces.

As good as Anand is. Fischer would beat him. No one had a will to win like Fischer.
