It's like saying Morphy could still win against current Super GMs whereas, in reality, he would struggle to beat current IMs and probably even FMs at best since no one in that era even had substantial opening theory. The average strength of elite chess masters has grown over the years tremendously with the fast innovation of technology which is why comparing legends of the past with players of the present is usually not a fair comparison.

Every time I see, or hear vids, articles, stories about Bobby Fischer I get a irrepressable sense of greatness... genius beyond defintiions. Bobby, to me, also brings a 'compelling' component to his charisma. Meaning there's a 'presence' to him which intrigues and urges one's curiousity to find out more. This other guy has no such vibe. And, the audacity to analyze and rate Bobby Fischer is akin to taking apart a Stradavarius to explain why it's considered to be the best/greatest/most remarkable violin of all time. Some things are sacred. Bobby was on a quantum level. Once you try and 'observe' or define him his reactions change accordingly. Thusly, his true mystique still remains illusive and irreproachable... and can never be truly comphrehended with 'logic'. Only awe and wonder, by those who believe in a higher power can really appreciate such a legendary legacy...

Fischer was 150 points above his closest rival, of course he was a genius. He played to over 2700 before GM's learned with the help of engines. If Carlsen had grown up in the 50s and 60s I highly doubt he'd have reached Fischer's level of *genius* and he also had something Carlsen will never have - a personality.

Bobby's father published a review of the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. He played the Game of the Century when he was 14-years-old. No super grandmaster has ever beat another in a competitive match by a score of 6-0 or anything close. Fischer did it twice, including against the World #4 at the time. When he played Spassky he was 125-points ahead of Spassky, who was the World #2. That would be the equivalent of Magnus being rated 2926. TLDR: Bobby was a 10 in genius. He also, along with everything else, is credited with creating the variation that likely is going to be the version played mainly at top level events in the future. He's a 10 in influence as well. To say he was a 10 in entertainment value shouldn't even require explanation, but his match against Spassky in 1971 was global news.

Fischer had the largest dominance gap in strength over his opponents since Paul Morphy, much larger than Carlsen's today against Caruana or Karjakin. Two top-level GM blowouts in the 1971 candidates: Taimonov (6-0), Larsen (6-0), and all without engine prep, not to mention smashing Tigran Petrosian, who had been considered literally indestructible before Spassky. Then, guess what? He smashed Spassy too after throwing him a few games. He singlehandedly dismantled the entire Soviet chess machine like a toy. IMO Fischer should score higher on genius rating.

I once saw a Soviet player in retrospect say that if Fischer liked to eat eggs for breakfast, so to speak, he would haven eaten eggs for breakfast every day. Even though I'd agree Fischer was a genius for having developed all his knowledge by himself, and for the fact that he was leagues ahead of the competition at the time, I think Magnus' comment is best explained by his having a certain idea of what "genius" is to him, which fits someone like Kasparov a little better, as opposed to being a knock on Fischer's playing ability.

Fischer was insane in terms of getting better and studying. He was analyzing all on his own with boards and mind. With access to engines and considering his sanity, he would not only catch up but become #1 in no time. Comparing accuracies of games that was played 50 years apart would not give any accurate results. Fischer was a genius who was ahead of his time just like Morphy. Magnus isn't. He is just good and thats all.

Magnus knows infinitely more about Chess than me, so he's probably correct, but calling Fischer "not that much of a genius" is slander in my opinion. Fischer was just some kid living with his mom in a small New York apartment and he took down the Soviet chess machine and made it look easy, all while he had clear and obvious mental health issues. If Fischer didn't go crazy and become a recluse, there's no telling how many years he could've remained world champion.

@bootyholelover5639 Жыл бұрын

He didn't go crazy. He just didn't want to represent America in chess anymore. He felt like America only used him to take down the soviets in chess. That's the main reason he stopped playing. The American government wouldn't even let him visit Russia to play his friend Boris Spasky, and when he did they tried to get him arrested and sent to jail. Why do you think he left America?

Korchnoi thought he could play against Maroczy (at the time long deceased) through a medium. Steinitz thought he could play against god via telephone. There's others. I remember there was one famous player demanding free travel on a train with his cat "Chess", Nimzowitsch antics in social situations, and a few more. Now: I don't think chess makes people mentally ill, but that the type of people that can devote themselves to chess without abandon have traits that make them prone to mental illness (like obsessive tendencies).

Do you think, 6 months is enough to learn all the chess lines to beat Magnus? Magnus memorizes lines but if you watch him play he stray away from engines lines to beat his opponent. You guys are undermining him too much. Magnus is a great player with or without chess theory thats why he has been dominating the chess world for so long. And, if Bobby was born as the same time as Magnus there's no guarantee that he'd play chess. The same thing for Magnus if he was born in Fischer's time.
