Its now time for Carlsen Vs Kasparov Match of the Chess Titans

The Kasparov -Fischer tiff didnt happen to what could have been the greatest chess match of all time. But that can be overshadowed if ever these two guys meet. Kasparov like Fischer retired at the height of his powers with 2851 and Carlsen at 2862 the number one player and the highest rated player since the elo systems introduction. A match between these two will undoubetedly be the Greatest of EM all and possibly the greatest match there ever was. If Gary loses the FIde presidency...this match is a possibility.

in all fairness as much as i love fischer he would had been crushed by kasparov if their match happened as fischer is retired (seemingly) at kasparovs era.. kasparov vs carlsen on the other hand should be an interesting duel as kasparov (also seemingly) still got his aptitude for chess and still analyze games as good as anybody in the world is. With the right kind of preparation if that match ever happens.. im rooting for kasparov.

im just wondering if kasparov has found an antidote to the berlin wall in his retirement

What elo do you guys think chess titans level 10 is?

Edit: oh yeah, off topic. Sorry. Carlsen would beat Kasparov about 60-65% of the time, just like Anand. I happen to believe that if Kaspy returned to full time tournament play & got in shape first for maybe 1 year he would be around 2750 right now.

If they want to make money, then I am all for an Exhibition Match between them, say best of 9 games.

I think the excitement for this match would equal or exceed the WCC.

Kasparov was 2812 when he retired and Carlsen is 2872 today. Kasparov is bound to be considerably weaker almost nine years after his retirement than he was then, and I think he cares enough about his legacy not to want to risk such a match.
