Important question in order to answer this. Does Kasparov have scuba equipment?

There is no scuba equipment, no. He is freefloating, only coming up for air every 2 mins or so.

Ok I'm going to go with Kasparov on this on account of Fischer being long since decomposed under the frozen earth of Iceland.

If the contest is loser needs to take a breath first, Fischer wins.

realize, though, that both are underwater... Fischer is upside down in it. One must visualize the scenario to see the true brilliance of the question.

realize, that fischer is dead & hence doesn't need to breathe.  1 must understand this to see the true brilliance of the answer.

Realize, though, that Fischer's floating suspended corpse is being run by a supercomputer with his subconsious input into it which is hardwired into his rotting cerebral cortex controlling his limbs via a modified leather clad servo controlled yoga-bodysuit/fitbit mashup. One must understand THIS to see the true brilliance of the question.

ermm, still doesn't need to breathe?

Oohhh I didn't realize he had a FitBit. That changes everything! Back to the drawing board... Please include those kind of details in the o.p. from now on. Thanks.

False.  Permafrost preserves bodys.

An in-ground salt water pool overlooking the los angeles skyline, replete with an infinity pool edge. Not olympic sized, but big enough. I mean, there are two players in the pool, yknow.

Chess wins.

Now we're asking the real questions.

Kasparov would win no contest.  Since Fischer is dead all Kasparov has to do is make sure it's Fischer's move and he wins on time, drowning or not.

All Kasparov has to do is make one move and not drown untill Fischer's clock runs out. I see Kasparov taking this.

Even if he drowns he still wins if he drowns when Fischers clock runs out. I don't know the exact chess rules but I guess it counts as a win if your opponents clock runs out no matter if you are still alive or not.
