A strong engine would win something like 50 to 5, considering top engines nowadays are a good 400 points higher or so than Kasparov ever was.
who wins?
fischer would win for sure, he had the dedication to study long enought to find the engines weaknesses. you must not forget engines still have weaknesses that can be exploitet, even so most humans arent able to beat them
Engines destroy GM's regularly at standard time controls. They would similarly destroy any GM of the past (yes, even Fischer).
They are still beatable at blitz time controls (when they don't have enough time to think in certain highly positional positions), and correspondence time controls (when human positional understanding, combined with the human player's ability to check out all the relevant tactical shots before deciding on a course of action, can still trump raw processing power).
"They are still beatable at blitz time controls..."
Cite your sources---I thought thats the one area where they were exceptionally strong.

I have been curious about the development of chess engines recently, I know every year they grow stronger and stronger; yet for a real HUMAN player maintaining this level of development is pretty impossible when your rating is 2000<. So if the strongest chess player ever (Fischer, Kasparov etc) played an engine of new standards who would come out VICTORIOUS?!
