| Jun-03-10 | | SpiritedReposte: Fischer and Kasparov were the best of the best. Like picking the lobster or the steak. I bet they would each beat each other in brilliant fashion if they coulda played a match. What a match that would have been. |

I bet they would each beat each other in brilliant fashion if they coulda played a match. What a match that would have been.> I am not sure about the whole story but something like the following may have occurred. Bobby Fischer said at a press conference during his 1992 match with Spassky that the Soviets had published a Russian version of his book "My 60 memorable games" without paying him his royalties, and that when he had contacted them they had sent him a laughable reply saying that not only would they not pay him but they were going to go on publishing the Russian version without paying him. Fischer said that he would refuse to play the Russians as long as they continued to refuse to pay him. That is why a match between Fischer and Kasparov did not take place. I think that eventually Ilyumzhinov or someone did pay Fischer, but by then it was too late. Both Fischer and Kasparov had withdrawn from chess. |

 |
| Jul-01-10 | | DWINS: <KingG>, I agree completely. The Fischer of 1992 would have been beat down severely by Kasparov. Bobby wouldn't have stood a chance. |
 |
| Jul-13-10 | | rapidcitychess: Of course Fischer would lose. He was 50 years old, out of practice, no modern theory.Let's say Fischer of 1970's was teleported to the 90's, then we have something. |

Ah I see, no mate. But Ra8 threatens perpetual check, and what can black do to stop it? |

 | | perfidious: <TheMacMan: kasparov is Terrible> Yes.
The. Worst. Player. Ever. |
 |
| Mar-31-11 | | TheMacMan: agreed. |
 |
| Jul-01-11 | | airjordinzz: <BraveUlysses> he acted like a spoiled child, if he were a child it would be more understandable, kasparov has repeatedly shown his immaturity and chauvinism with outbursts like this, he feels he always has to be right, even if there is truth in his claims, and the award was given more than anything because of who was playing rather than the actual game that was played, that doesn't justify his outburst, it was extremely insulting and hurtful to the 15yo radjabov, he didn't deserve that, why not just be happy for the kid and congratulate him |
 |
| Aug-05-11 | | Artemi: I agree with you airjordinzz.....just be happy with the kid...Bobby never act like this...he appreciates everything related to chess!!!!inspite of all the things he said outside chess!!!All of Bobby's outburst is for the good of chess and better playing condition and good pay for chessplayers which is now reaped by chessplayers including Kasparov himself...Bobby have to fight for it all!!! |
 |
| Aug-05-11 | | airjordinzz: yeah, bobby had his share of outbursts, and it was just sad to see him become more and more mentally ill, theyre both chess geniuses and were among the very few best players of all time, kasparov seems like a nice guy really, i just think he has repeatedly been very disrespectful to others and has childish outbursts, I guess his hypercompetitive nature is a big reason why he has been able to be so successful, and he just lets it get the best of him sometimes |
 |
| Aug-12-11 | | sfm: Kasparov seems to have lived his chess life on the saying:
"Show me a good loser and I will show you a loser!"
He was neither. |
 |
| Aug-12-11 | | maelith: Kasparov does not take loses very well, he got disappointed. And that what makes him great and a beast, he is competitive. |
 |
| Aug-13-11 | | Damianx: you ask how can u compere Fisher to Kasparov well Kasparov does i have him being interviewed they asked now your retired what do u think of the new 28oo club the new Super GM,s he said their all good players but there is no Fisher in the bunch then asked well is Fisher the greatest of all time K said i can,t answer that i don,t know but i can tell you the two greatest of all time Fisher and Kasparov |

 | | perfidious: <Damianx:....they asked now your retired what do u think of the new 28oo club the new Super GM,s he said their all good players but there is no Fisher in the bunch....> Indeed not-maybe Carlsen scales Mt Olympus one day, but not now. Aronian: Who knows? He's still young, may well be world champion, but...... Anand has long been a top-class GM, but while Kasparov was active, never clearly his superior, for all his greatness. |
 |
| Dec-13-11 | | piltdown man: It's a pity this beautiful game is remembered chiefly for Kasparov's massive dummy spit. It deserves better. |
 |
| Dec-13-11 | | optimal play: I think Radjabov deserved the beauty/brilliancy prize for this game just as Ian Rogers deserved it for I Rogers vs G Milos, 1992 |

 | | wordfunph: "Radjabov plays very imaginatively... he just won't give up, he is extremely tenacious and will always find a way to muddy the waters to throw you off track. He is very good at finding disconcerting moves. Here he unbalances Kasparov completely, disturbing his rhythm of play. The move probably caused the great player to fall off his chair." - GM Nigel Short

In the game, it was declined. But what would happen if it's taken?  click for larger view22.dxe5 g5 23. xg5 xg5 24. xg5 xh2 25. xh2 g1+ 26. d2 xa1 26. c2 d4 and black is . It also shows 27. h1 d3+ 28. xd3 cxd3+ 29. b3 a5+ 30. a4 c6+ and the position is going to repeat.  click for larger view |

 | | xthred: From Bill Wall at chess.com:
In 2003, Kasparov lost to Teimour Radjabov by storming away from the board and lost on time rather than resign in a clearly lost position. He refused to shake hands or do a post game analysis. Later, Radjabov was awarded the brilliancy prize, but Kasparov walked up on the stage, grabbed the microphone, and launched a 10 minute tirade at the journalists, saying the award was a public insult and humiliation because Radjabov was completely lost in the game.
