That's easy, Fischer.
... at least I'm pretty sure.
Most GMs were 2500. Spassky was like mid 2600. Fischer was an unimaginable (at the time) 2785. It would be like if Carlsen were rated 2925.
Who was the first player to reach 2700?
Sort:
Mikhail Tal,his peak rating was 2705
i think tal or fischer first cross the barrier of 2700
Yeah does anybody know?
