Yes, as title instructs - Did these two, masters of their games, meet in secrecy and play with eachother? There are no records of game between them, but that is only official. Do you think they attended unofficial business together?

If they had, it wouldn't be classified as "in secret" now, would it? wink.png

Yes. I have a pgn of the games. Fischer personally handed it down to me. I'll send it to you for a mere $270

No, but I heard Tarasova and Myoko Watai get together for scrabble sometimes.

fischer v kasparov may or may not have happened, but fischer did play online chess before he died.  youtube search "fischer's secret games"

Considering how much Bobby hated the Russians and that Kasparov wasn't world champ until a decade after Fischer stopped playing, it's not likely Bobby played Kasparov "in secret."  Bobby wasn't rich and a match with Kasparov would have brought money to both men.

I remember reading somewhere that Fischer met with Anand back in the early 90's at a European cafe and praised him for standing up to the Russian chess system. I cannot confirm the details or even if it's true but it sounds plausible.

According to this interview with Anand, it seems like he met Bobby Fischer only once, and that was in 2006.

Garry Kasparov has written an article about his "encounter" with Bobby Fischer:

But this could be a cover-up, denying the world the truth about encounters of the world's greatest masters.

if we knew, it would no longer be a secret, would it ?

I tried telling him:

Hey, junior, behave yourself but he just pointed me the middle finger.

Fischer never met with Kasparov. He did, however, meet in secret with Karpov post 1975 to negotiate terms of a match.

Could you share with us the scientific paper that makes your statement true?
