Exaflop calculation won't save the pc, since I think there is a slight weakness in each algorithm, a weakness that would surely caught the eye of Fischer. The computer would be a great competitor and a great challenger, but don't expect it to destroy Fischer, because even though it was 50 years ago, Fischer's play was almost flawless.
What if AI played instead of __, possible worlds

That is true that any modern engine would beat a GM.
Yet some specific pts of the 1972 match are of interest. I forget the game numbers. But lets ask a few questions:
[1.] Give an engine to both sides of the endgame where Fischer drew two pawns down after an Alekhine's defence.
[2.] Give an engine to the game where Fischer had his queen trapped.
Hello, came across an interesting video (watch?v=1uoTaroXG28) containing letsplaychess's Ai playing in fischer's position against spassky in game 13 world championships 1972. If we used top AI programs, such as Houdini or Rybka, and made them play in some suitable position in the end-games or mid-games of similar game of century matches, would it be likely that the current AI will beat the masters in these matches? It would seem yes, because of new knowledge today compared to yesterday, but can someone point to me to more realizations of this concept from at least a top 5 computer chess program as rated by CCRL? I'd imagine if Houdini or Rybka were ran on a petaflop computer there'd be no way the past greats like fischer, karpov, etc, would be able to out-play this beefed-up AI on critical positions that lead only to a loss/win condition.
Maybe this is speculation, but even the chess greats in all history combined together would not defeat an exaflop computer running houdini or rybka etc, with the condition they dont have cheats, computer aid, or similar unfair events. Thoughts?
