Garry Kasparov Visits Bobby Fischer's Grave
On March 9th, 2014 - what would have been Bobby Fischer's 71 birthday, Garry Kasparov visited his grave in Selfoss, Iceland. It was a unique moment for chess, as the two, arguably the strongest chess players in history, never met and thus were never so close to each other. Chess.com was there to witness the moment and do a brief interview with Mr Kasparov.

Respect to Kasparov for showing this gesture!

@RaniaIsAwesome 5 жыл бұрын

These compliments to Kasparov's gesture are all well and good, but ask yourself - would Fischer have wanted this? Would Fischer have appreciated it? I can almost imagine the ghost of Fischer hunting Kasparov off the grounds. People say Fischer went off the deep end but in some ways Kasparov is just as bad now. Every day it's Putin conspiracy this, Putin conspiracy that. He is polar opposites to Fischer in politics and in life, the only thing he has respect for is his chess. It seems a bit like loving a woman for her beauty. Well, whether Kasparov gained something from this for himself or not is one thing, I don't accept that it's some glorious gesture he should be "respected" for, especially as he had the cameras on him and it could be all planned for publicity.

@The Liquidator I've watched that part several times and I'm 90% sure the next word is "player", which if correct may be the only time in chess history that an immortal like Kasparov clearly believes that another legendary player was better than he. Interviewers try all the time to get this out of the greats to no avail, but Kasparov appears to put it in writing.

Jeff Sol "A World Champion Karjakin would have been a misunderstanding. After all, all 16 World Champions, starting with Steinitz, are remarkable players, and our chess world is proud of them. It would have been very strange indeed if a player such as Karjakin had outplayed an opponent of Carlsen's class. For such a sensation the stars in heaven really need to be in a seriously unusual constellation." That was Kasparov after Magnus retained the World Championship title in December last year. That really doesn't sound like bad terms. When they split, they both said that they would remain in contact and occassionally train together.

Oscar Davila Kasparov is the only other player to have anywhere near as definitive a lead over his contemporaries as Fischer did, yet he did that for nearly 20 years compared to the 2 or 3 that Fischer did. It took nearly 15 years for anyone to top his rating, just like it took some 20 years for Kasparov to top Fischer, even with the advent of strong computers to help with training. Of course someone will, what an ignorant comment.

hairy booty - I agree, the Fischer of 1971 and the Kasparow of the late 90s were probably the best players ever. I also rate the Carlsen of 2014 quite high. I wonder how the Lasker of 1900 would have performed today - let's say with a few months time of preparation with full access to all current chess databases . I guess he would also fare quite well, his talent was immense.

@euclideszoto997 9 жыл бұрын

Didn't Karpov admit that at the time he didn't feel he could beat fischer then. Then after he won some pretty strong tournaments then he felt he was ready to play fischer as equal. I believe that Fischer would have beaten Karpov then but to let time go by as Karpov got stronger would have been a big mistake Fischer would have regretted if they had played but it is all heresay now.

@EGarrett01 9 жыл бұрын

Euclides Zoto The Fischer who crushed the candidates and beat Spassky was not Fischer at his peak either. Chess players historically have their best performances in their mid-to-late 30's. Fischer's greatest domination would have been around 1979-1984.

@HenryMcGuinnessGuitar 9 жыл бұрын

The Liquidator Well Fischer - if he'd held off his inner demons - might have faced both of them at some stage - and if Fischer had kept improving he'd have beaten both of them a few times. Eventually he'd lose of course. But then of course the development of the 2 Ks would have been different, having to face Fischer. Who knows how things would work out :)

@ksnooked5717 9 жыл бұрын

The psychological pressure of playing Spassky in 1972 must have been tremendous. One needs to remember that it was during the 'Cold War', and that the Soviet Union had dominated Chess since the end of WWII; and they expected to continue to do so. Russian players were essentially professional, getting considerable funding from the State. Bobby Fischer was this 'wildcat' amateur taking on 'The Machine'. I believe that to continue to play Chess under that sort of psychological pressure would have been too much for most people.

@krumzakon633 6 жыл бұрын

I am pretty sure that Karpov and Kasparov would be beaten up. For one, Bobby style was equal to no style. He develop a strength to hit in the right moment...this is gift, talent, you name it. A truly genius of his time and among others have not been understood, nor accepted.

Yes. Of course he means every word of what he says. Fischer was a chess idol for Kasparov. Thing is a lot of people made out the Fischer-Spassky match to be a part of the cold war but reality is it was only like that to the news and to people that don't really follow Chess. Kasparov admired the play of Fischer as a kid when Fischer was world champion. Chess is never about the nationality of the guy sitting on the other side of the table from you.

Kasparov is not only perhaps the greatest chess player in recorded history, but is also a great historian. He has a major passion for history, and a phenomenal grasps of the significance of the events, in the possible outcomes that may have followed if fate had gone the other way. But my deepest respect for him comes from the fact that he is a decent human being, and a person who has managed to overcome even that of his own great success in life, even despite his driving ego. Many others in chess and otherwise, are not able to do that.

Viking is pointing out something relevant.

The problem is that Fischer took that paranoia and sailed off into la-la land shortly after that...

@michaelsshirt8046 9 жыл бұрын

EGarrett01 The reason could be simple: Fischer was by far the strongest in US beating all opponents (like 11:0 against Benko) but he could not beat Russians so easily and that made him mad and paranoid. Remember that he was not exactly nice guy in real life, I guess price for being genius, by the way that makes him alike with Kasparov which is also quite a scandalist.

Fischer was the greatest chess player who has ever lived IMHO. The mixture of having access to advanced development in chess theory and his tremendous talent isn't surpassed by anyone today. Players who formed the top 10 after he left the chess world had been weaker than him for more than 20 years although they had access to all this even bigger knowledge by then. What this means in terms of talent and dedication is obvious. In the late 60ies/early 70ies a 2700 ELO-rating was as high as probably a 2820 ELO-rating in classical chess is today. Spasski as the no. 2 in the world was not far off 2700 then while Fischer scratched the 2800 rating - simply outstanding. Even today he would be among the top 10 chess players in the world if his peak-rating in 1971 is considered.

Thankyou Garry Kasparov For Motivating Me In My Chess Career. I learned to play chess at the age of 14. I'm 41 now, Garry Kasparov is a true world champion even though he lost his title a few years back. Bobby Fischer will always go down as the best of his time as well.

Fischer found happiness in his own way - only God will judge - may he rest in peace.

I don't think he found happiness in this life. Tragically, he was angry, bitter, and paranoid. He became antisemitic, despite his own Jewish background, and saw enemies everywhere. It's truly sad, the case of a chess genius who was also mentally ill.

@@KingoftheJuice18 Nobody understands why madness and genius are first cousins. It was extremely odd that a Jewish kid turned to anti-semitic bs. The red mother with whom he had a complex relationship didn't help and not having a secure upbringing ofcourse.

@electronwave4551 2 жыл бұрын

When Fischer got onto a subject and he thought he was not being taken seriously, he would go overboard, which only weakened his argument. He needed to realise that sometimes reducing the psychological pressure can be just as effective.
