Fischer vs. Korchnoi?

There's a big debate of what would happen if Fischer and Karpov actually played in 1975, but what if Fischer had faced another opponent, similar to Karpov's strenght: Korchnoi.

Here's my take on the match: 

Frustrated by all of Fischer's demands, Korchnoi gets a worse position. He starts kicking Fischer under the table (yes, the both had bad tempers). Fischer stands up and shouts for the arbiter. The arbiter agrees that Korchnoi's action was incorrect. Korchnoi chucks a king at Fischer, but misses and hits the arbiter in the face, and so the TD passes out.

Fischer grabs the table and overturns in on Korchnoi. The two wrestle, and the police come, but both chuck a few chess pieces at them and they are knocked out.

Eventually, Fischer, being the younger man, wins. Thus, I think that the match would not last more than 2 games, and that Fischer would win.

What's YOUR opinion? 

My opinion is that if this turns into another text-based adventure I will pull out my plasma rifle and end them all.

Korchnoi himself said that he had no chance in a match against Fischer.

"In 1975 Fischer was rated 115 points higher than Korchnoi"

He hadn't played chess in three years though, hard to say if he was the same strength as when he quit playing in 1972.

Generally, 3 years without pushing a pawn in public is enough to deterioate your strenght.

Korchnoi said that "the generation that had been beaten by Fischer" had no chance

For most people.

In any case, it would be interesting to see what Fischer would play against Korchnoi. I'll study their styles and look at a lot of their games,and try to see how a game between them would look like.

Another thread based on pure speculation.

Well, if you read the original post, it's clear that Robert is doing this partly as parody of some other threads that routinely go off the rails anyway.

"What if...?" is one of the great questions for spurring creative thought. True, it can go nowhere or degenerate into the sort of trollish craziness we often see in such discussions at chess.com.

It can be fun and educational to wonder what would happen if so-and-so played so-and-so. People can dredge up interesting statistics and sidelights I haven't heard before.

So there is nothing wrong with speculation. It seems though that some recent participants haven't played the game in good faith.

First game--

Fischer vs. Korchnoi

French Defense.

Hmm. The only French I can find between Fischer and Korchnoi was a blitz game in 1970. Fischer played the 7.a4 line of the Winawer and lost.

It is a funny thing, the trouble Fischer had with the French.

Spassky - Korchnoi 1977 had some epic French Winawer battles with the Poisoned Pawn variation.

Fischer vs Rustam Kamsky??

Perhaps then he would have had trouble with Korchnoi?

Despite Fischer's score vs Spassky going into the '72 match, I think Boris was the best (and easiest) opponent for Fischer. Geller or Korchnoi would have both been a much more resilient and difficult obstacle to overcome for the american, though I believe he would've won anyway in the the end.

In this strange and unpredictable world of chess, compared to his plus score vs Fischer, Geller had a far greater plus score against Botvinnik and Smyslov. He had a lesser plus score (compared to his plus score vs Fischer) or an equal score against Bronstein, Petrosian and Portisch.  But he had a negative score against Taimanov, Larsen and Keres (all players Fischer had a plus score against).  Go figure.

Fischer vs. Korchnoi:

Korchnoi isn't

Not in heaven yet!
