Carlsen vs Kasparov vs Fischer vs Capablanca: Who would win?!

Sort:
Chessislife2013

Raw ability? Probably Fischer. Who would win a fight when they were all at their prime (Carlsen is still improving, but we have to use what we have now) of their ability and knowledge? Carlsen, hands down. He has modern theory on his side - I'd destroy Morphy, but he has more ability than me.

you would not destroy morphy, and its arguable whether fischer had more talent considering he studied so hard and intensely.

edit: i just looked at your ratings please tell me you were joking about the destroying morphy part, he could play you blindfolded and never lose a single game

Speaking of ratings, who are you to talk about anything concerning chess? You can play blitz; that's all. You're terrible at tactics, incapable at slow chess, and horrible at winning anything!

In a game of 4 player Chess , who would win?

 

The setting is : Everyone in their prime and during their best winning streaks and for Carlsen, as he is right now. And not a single one of them has played 4 player chess before

There is no clock, so time will not be a factor and all chess rules apply.

The winner will be decided after 9 games (so they get used to it over time)

So who do you think will win? And by how much?

I've a question. How does four player chess work? Couldn't threee team up and simutaneously slaughter the fourth, then two gang up on one, and in the end a real "1-1" chess game? Four player chess is nonsensical, honestly, and hopefully I don't offend anyone.

Yes, technaically they can.

However here is the twist, when you "checkmate someone" they are checkmated for as long as the peices stay there. Move them, and the player is back in the game. The only way to absolutlely destroy a player is to remove every one of their peices except their king.The winner is announced when either 3 kings are left by themselves and one person with enough material to at least checkmate one of them. Or 3 players are checkmated at the same time in a weird messed up way.

Four masters should prove to be very exciting! As the further you go into the game, the harder it is to stay alive and win!

Ivanov would school them

It's a lot of fun to play with two players and each player have two colors. However 4 player would be insane, because to win a game you have to lose some material of your own, and the other players would hopelessly out-number you. 

913Glorax12

Yes, insane, played it multiple times with friends, and we aren't experts. Imagine 4 experts playing! It would be intense!

Fact: 3 is bigger than 1

Fact:Bob is outnumbered by Joe, Fred, and George. If they gang up on him he will lose

Fact:Joe is outnumbered by Bob, Fred, and George. If they gang up on him he will lose

Fact:Fred is outnumbered by Bob, Joe, and George. If they gang up on him he will lose

Backstabbing your allies is the name of the game here. It just comes down to timing
