Old School Chess Players

I have always wondered how the old school chess players like; Alekhine, Capablanca, Tal, or even Morphy would play against modern day players. By modern day, I mean; Kramnik, Anand, Topalov, Kasparov and you know the rest. Would the newer generation get annihilated?

What the old school chess players used to consider an inventive move nowadays people know as a book move. The former have no chance against the new generation at least in the opening. They will almost always be outplayed in the opening. However, in the endgame I guess nobody can outplay Capablanca. My verdict? New generation will win by a big margin.

IF the old school could USE the same technology like computers and databases they could still be able to win.

If grandma had balls she would have been a grandpa...
