No. Today's ratings are inflated. Fischer's 2789 in 1972 would be another hundred points higher today.

Even current top players pay homage to Fischer's skill level.

No, I would say it's about equal to a 1700 rating today.

Everyone knows Fischer would be nowhere near master strength in 2017. 1200, if your being generous.

,... isn't the question equivalent to asking how good Morphy would be in today's environment?
