Kasparov or Fischer - Who is better?

Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer are both greatest players in the history of chess.Both almost played in a common period.But there was not a single game fought between them.Both are excellent players who proved their brilliance.If they fought each other in the chess board,who would probably win?

I would have to say Fischer, he was the youngest grand master ever in the history of chess. maybe other than Carlsen.

That record has been broken a few times since fischer.  

I will say Kasparov.  Even though i have no way to back this up.

50 years ago he set a record.

Like almost all 50 year old records, it's been broken many times since then.

Carlsen isn't the current record holder for youngest GM, I think that's Karjakin who became a GM at 12 years old. For reference Fischer became a GM at 15.

I believe the best player ever was Max Euwe.

As an human being, it would be a hard contest between him, Tal and Spassky if we take world champions.

His problem was that he was just too normal.Doctor Max Euwe was very popular in Holland .

 

Jan Timman the same thing.Very nice guy .

But today there are more players, more resources, and all that jazz. Fischer was the only kid in the whole top circuit back then.

I think the age one would become a grandmaster not only determine the quality of the player.There are many factors other than that.

Fischer by far.

For a while, though, it was pretty exile-ent.
