FISCHER - CAPABLANCA - ALEKHINE

[roulleteman7]

Fischer

Kasparov

Morphy

[SuperSmilingSmiley]

@1983rafan Cannot be compared. Today there are more than 70 players in the world that could beat Fischer. Chess has developed a lot since the coming of the computer. Kasparov is a whole different category than Fischer, he would beat him every time because Fischer wouldn't have any useful reply to anything.

[jilow]

@SuperSmilingSmiley I disagree people adapt, and people blunder. Fischer would win on occasion even if Kasparov was the stronger player. Furthermore, you need to look at people's skills for the time period they are in. They can only push the game so much from their starting information, the next generation of geniuses can push it farther because they start way ahead with all the new information.

[tubertomp]

i was already to like it and add it to favorites if the band cake was the music track

[NewVahan2]

1. Kasparov

2. Fischer

3. Karpov

[x6801]

great song for the greatest of all times

[gorantrevise]

Fischer did it by himself, he even locked out his seconds when a game had been halted for a night.

He founded modern chess and Garry was his first real follower.

Karpov had superior talent.

[rusia0071]

kasparov is great chess player but karpov is the best he is a chess legend

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

Fischer is undoubtedly the best and most accomplished American player of all time. However, I have my doubts that he would've been able to defeat either Karpov (and he certainly would not have defeated Kasparov) even in his prime.

[Reshik33]

Well well now, you've already broken the very first rule:

Never underestimate your opponent.

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

@Reshik33 I'm not Kasparov or Karpov, and I don't have goals or ambitions like those of Kasparov or Karpov. Realize that the rule you just stated does not apply to me, when I'm on youtube commenting on who was better historically speaking - _ -

[was1swill]

@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD dude stop dissin' fischer..=) guy was 20 years ahead of his time..he knew everything that was writen in chess books in his time.If he lived in era of garry he would have had exactly same theoretical knowledge and since they are both calculating geniouses(190+ IQ) that means they are pretty much same strenght..

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

@was1swill I'm dissing Fischer? Wow, my bad, I apologize if ranking a player #2 or 3 all-time is a diss.

Kasparov reached a rating of 2851 at his peak. There's not much argument, amongst either professionals or amateurs, that that qualifies him as the best player of all time (ahead of Fischer).

[KnightedMagi]

@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD i actually think Karpov could have beat Fischer because of his pure positional play. Kasparov vs Fischer would have been amazing though

[Phyle9]

@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD With all respect for Fischer, but he wasn't at the same level as Karpov. Also he didn't have the help of 10s of strong grandmasters, nor the resources as Karpov got from the Kremlin!

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

@Phyle9 There's not much doubt in my mind Karpov would've beaten Fischer when they were due to play for the World Championship in 1975. You gotta keep in mind that Fischer had basically disappeared, and presumably stopped playing chess for THREE YEARS after he won it all in 1972.

No matter how good you are a 3-year absence is going to set you back significantly. And Karpov was already an extremely strong player to begin with. It's the same story with Kasparov.

[Phyle9]

@PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD Yeah, Fischer was good. And i mean REALLY good! But not as good as the American media hyped him, like he was the number 1 chess god of all time ;-)

They just bombarded him as a moviestar. He wasn't as good as the russians, and that's why he didn't play in 1975. He was mainly afraid of himself (as Karpov stated in an interview) cause he thought worldchampions weren't allowed to lose a single game. Which is of course unrealistic in chess. He also knew how strong Karpov was....

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

@Phyle9 Yes, there is a noticeable difference in perception of Fischer in the US compared to elsewhere. B/c of the American media, to the amateur public, Fischer was an invincible chess god. And somehow his "disappearance" just added to his mystique. To the rest of the world, he was prodigious, brilliant, visionary, and all that, but he was by no means invincible or even the best ever. There is a difference between a man who defends his title for 2 decades (Kasp.) and one who doesn't at all.

[Faramarzrastin]

Bl4ckR0ck@ You are definitely right about the third game of 1972 match as it was dead stalemate before Spasskies last move.

[Ruxistico]

Your political opinion does not interest me at all. I'm here for the chess.

[Ruxistico]

it is true that Spassky played with a psychological disadvantage - I will not deny that.

Fischer blundered horribly in game 1 and forfeited game 2 by default. So.. well.. Actually I don't care that much - it just struck me that you don't believe in Fischer's genius.

[Ruxistico]

I have done extensive analysis of the games. Your capital letters does not change my opinion.

My guess is that you are some kind of russian nationalist and therefore needs to believe in Spasskys superiority.

It is true, however, that Spassky could have won the match - by declining Fischers absurd demands. But that is the only way he could have won. I'm sorry, but you stand alone with your opinion. Everyone (including Gazza) thinks that Bobby was 'towering over the competition' (Gazza's words).

[Ruxistico]

I dig what you are saying, but I have to say that Spassky wasn't 'Blundering his games away' - he was crushed by a superior player. There is reason to criticize Fischer - but his brilliance is undeniable.

[Ruxistico]

I need to know the name of the song that accompany this video. Plz can any1 tell me?

[auretd]

It is Rocky Movie OSD, i don't exactly remember which sequel, but i would bet IV.

[Ruxistico]

thank you. I now know that it is called 'Going The Distance' and that it is composed by Bill Conti.

[IkiriRiri]

is Kasparov the russian of Gaspar or Casper...?

[bigshot1973]

texaspete...'some who will remain nameless, like fischer for example'???? you are aware of what bollocks that is arent u? hardly remaining nameless to be named in the same sentence is it

[arvas3]

para poly kalo,para poly kalo para poly kalo alla enas htan o champion paul morphy

[texaspete66]

Gary is class, a gentleman champion, role model & patron of the game > on and off the board - unlike some other people who shall remain nameless like bobby fischer for example.

[DBSwofford]

Fischer was the best, but even if Garry was better, there will always be an asterisk next to his name in the history books.

[fatesofgreedom]

I just finished reading his autobiography ("Unlimited Challenge").

Amazing story.

[dracotheslydrago]

yeah he sucks, Set up to destroy Fischers name, stole his glory, and Garry you cheated for the number 1 highest ratting, you piece of shit. yeah how could Garry be the best if his ratting was 2nd. so fuck you Russian cheats poor losers. u act like a little baby when you play chess

[Haltung]

You show proof or you apologize.

[VikingII]

How did garry cheat for The number 1 rating?

[hamtuckey]

do you know what game chess is? probably never even saw a game in your life. Go back to maximum security prison loser
