Could Bobby Fischer beat me in a match?

It's no doubt that Bobby Fischer was very good at one point, but since he was born in March 9 1943, he is 89 years old currently, and probably not very good at chess anymore... My opening prep is extremely expansive, and I've mastered most of the gambits that Chess has to offer (Queen's Gambit, Ruy Lopez Gambit) and Bobby Fischer's is likely outdated due to the fact that he is old. I think I might beat him. My rating is 800 FIDE. Any thoughts? I've attached one of my recent games below. I won, mainly due to my positional understanding. https://www.chess.com/game/live/120740643184

No, you won because your opponent was bad

Ok I don’t want to offend you, but you have a ZERO PERCENT CHANCE of winning against Bobby Fischer if he was alive and had the same amount of knowledge when he die. You have a FIDE rating of 800, he was one of the greatest players of all time with a peak rating of over 2800! Even if his opening repertoire was outdated, he would CRUSH you. No offence, but you would probably get beaten if he was half as good as his actual skill

The Dunning–Kruger effect is very strong in this guy.

Very, very true

You can't even do simple math. 2024-1943 isn't 89, it's 81. You probably don't even know how good Fischer was, because you still think he's alive

Avatar of meerkat3517
This is probably a joke right? I mean I could expect maybe an IM to say this but an 800 FIDE? Even if he was alive and didn’t have basic opening prep with his common chess knowledge he will make the correct moves and crush you in less than 20 moves. To think that a top 10 all time great would lose to a beginner is quite embarrassing. Re post this when you become a super GM lol

And I just saw the abode info, with a max of 11 in puzzle rush you have no positional understanding. And you can’t properly understand a position in a bullet game.

r u kidding me? lol. Bobby Fischer have 2800+ FIDE, to think he would be beaten by someone -2000 rating is quite some insanity. No offense but I think him half asleep would be able to beat everyone talking here lol (including me of course). Only Hikaru, Magnus, Fabiano, Kasprov, Karpov, probably Ding and Gukesh would be able to beat him.

That's not the right question. The question is could you even make a draw against Bobby in a long match? And the answer is no.

Fischer would lose on time because he's dead.
