Josh is originally polish-jew, not American. Saying Fischer is the best is his real sincere views.

[kooler2004]

actually if you look at fischers games and what he won he is a far better kasporov. kasporov lost games due to big mistakes because he was a positional player bobby was a tactical player he made less mistakes because he calculated his move making him win bigger and better he also had the gambit of the century kasporov can't match that and for as long as chess has been around tactical is always better then positional play.

kasperov is the greatest ever, officially the highest ranked player ever. saying fischer is the greatest because he happens to be the same nationality as you is patriotic but just makes you look silly. he may be the greatest AMERICAN chess player ever.....but not THE greatest.

He did'nt thank Waitzkin in his intro.
