I think that the better Bobby Fischer better is better than better Magnus Carlsen better.  My friend wanted to bet me on it. But I decided I'd better bet her not.

I think Bobby Fischer is good.

You can't compare them. Carlsen has had access to all these advanced engines. Fischer never had that kind of help. So, can they be compared? No. You can argue that Fischer's opponents were weaker but even they did not have those facilities. If they had those facilities then they might be equal to today's players.  So, you cannot compare them again. Both of them have defeated the top players of their time.  If you see their playing level then carlsen is better but that is due to the engines. If Fischer had the engines he might have reached their level.  So, we see there are no parameters to compare them.

Oh thanks. Actually I had a fight with one of my friends on this issue and that's why I made this forum.
