| Maatalkko: Fischer in 1970 wasn't the strongest player of all time, Fischer in 1971 was. And of course it is ridiculous to compare Fischer to Tal, Karpov, and Kasparov, because he had far fewer opportunities to practice against top-level competition. The fact that he never won a Soviet Championship quality tournament attests to his lack of opportunity, and shows him as a better player because he was able to achieve world dominance without regular practice against the best. The best player of all time though has to be Morphy. When you consider that he was basically a kid from New Orleans with no instruction who was forty years ahead of his time on intuition alone, its hard to make a cogent argument for anyone else. |

| AAAAron: Who played chess better than Fischer in 1970..... The answer is Fischer in 1971. Isn't that the year he had his winning streak, dominated tounaments and beat some tough competition to challenge the world champion. |

| RookFile: <Maatalkko: The best player of all time though has to be Morphy. When you consider that he was basically a kid from New Orleans with no instruction who was forty years ahead of his time on intuition alone, its hard to make a cogent argument for anyone else.> Well, Fischer himself said that in a set match, Morphy would beat anybody. True, Fischer left himself out of the discussion of who the best player was. Who would win between Fischer and Morphy, if we took the common sense step of allowing Morphy to study all the chess that occurred after his death? I have no idea. Remember, when Fischer was a kid himself, he was beating people like Keres and Reshevsky. |

| keypusher: <Fischer in 1970 wasn't the strongest player of all time, Fischer in 1971 was.> Okay...
<And of course it is ridiculous to compare Fischer to Tal, Karpov, and Kasparov, because he had far fewer opportunities to practice against top-level competition.> How did you figure out Fischer was the strongest player of all time without comparing him to Tal, Karpov and Kasparov? <The best player of all time though has to be Morphy. When you consider that he was basically a kid from New Orleans with no instruction who was forty years ahead of his time on intuition alone, its hard to make a cogent argument for anyone else.> Actually, it's very easy. If Morphy was 40 years ahead of his time, Philidor was probably 80 years ahead of his, and Greco 200 years ahead of his. Besides, the assertion is ridiculous. <40 years ahead of his time> would be around 1900. The notion that Morphy was 40 years ahead of his time doesn't survive half an hour's study of the games from any of the leading masters from that era. |

| chess as whimsy: I might venture to say that Fischer in 1972 was even stronger than in 1971 or 1970. |

| notyetagm: <RookFile: This is a quality blitz game, with a theoretical novelty thrown in.> Leave it to Fischer and his immense desire to win to play the strong novelty 12 c1-g5! in a blitz game. I suppose that the top GMs that Fischer played at the time who played the Spanish (Keres, Gligoric, Petrosian) would hardly play the Schliemann so maybe it was not a bad choice after all. And it did help him win the strongest blitz tournament of all-time. |

| RookFile: <keypusher: The notion that Morphy was 40 years ahead of his time doesn't survive half an hour's study of the games from any of the leading masters from that era.> That must be why Botvinnik singled out Morphy as saying in the 100 years since his death, play in the open game had not signifantly improved over Morphy's. |

| notyetagm: <RookFile: ... That must be why Botvinnik singled out Morphy as saying in the 100 years since his death, play in the open game had not signifantly improved over Morphy's.> Exactly. Botvinnik said that to learn how to play the Open Game, all you needed to study were the games of Morphy. |

| RookFile: Obviously, notyetagm and I think it has everything to do with the matter. |

| littlefermat: Keypusher was talking about Morphy's overall quality of play, not his understanding of the open game--which is what Botvinnik was commenting on. |
|
| Jan-18-08 |
| RookFile: It's not a big distinction, because the vast majority of Morphy's games were open games. You've got Botvinnik saying that essentially, somebody like Tal was not playing the open game significantly better than Morphy did. From Morphy, you might have to fast forward to Lasker (possibly Chigorin) to find somebody else to whom you could make the same statement. I know of no other player in history that gave a <simul> to 5 top twenty players in the world and <won> it. |

| Damianx: KingDumb that,s the most ridiculous thing ever say someones partner becomes ill and he plays 1 quarter the tournaments he wont have the best rating but if he is the best he is the best Kasperov should be a pretty good judge & i have him on tape saying if it isn,t me its Fisher besides me Fisher is the greatest of all time no team no computer etc. |

| Damianx: yeah but it was a lot easier to be 40 years ahead when everyone else is in the stone age who is 40 years ahead today |
|

| Damianx: Timman interview he said we were all very good players & playing very good chess in 71 the only problem was Bobby was playing something else |
