| Mar-09-11 | | ughaibu: By the way, are there any who "would" rate Geller above Keres? If you would, please explain. |
 |
| Mar-10-11 | | kingfu: Keres was +3 with Geller over 38 games. That is not dominant. On the Fischer page and the Kasparov page , many of our fellow Chess players are spewing vitriol at each other about "THE GREATEST CHESS PLAYER EVER." How much dark matter can fit on the head of a pin?
Perhaps a better exercise could be the best players of all time who NEVER became Champion. Keres and Geller are a good start.
How about Ruben Fine, Leonid Stein, David Bronstein, Max Euwe and Victor Korchnoi? |

| Mar-10-11 | | perfidious: <kingfu> Here's my view of this particular question............ http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1... |
|
| Mar-10-11 | | kingfu: My bad.
Ok, we replace Euwe on the list with Samuel Reshevesky. |

 | | TheFocus: I just was going over the five Fischer losses to Geller in <Application of Chess Theory> by Geller. Good games and good annotations, but Fischer blew two wins according to Geller, which would have reversed their final record. I really do think that Geller saw some things in Bobby that others just did not see. And he had the right temperament to take advantage of Bobby's "weaknesses." I think that this is another example of one of those matches that should have been. It would have been like two tigers fighting. One would lose, but the winner would have been mauled and bloody. |

| | TheFocus: <kingfu>< Monaco 1967 Fischer v. Geller, Sicilian Poisoned Pawn.
Geller uses Fischer's own favorite variation of The Sicilian back at him and smokes him in 25 moves from the Black Side. Great stuff.
Efim Geller ALWAYS plays for mate.>
Yep. Fantastic game. |

 | | whiteshark: "Yefim Geller, who died several years ago, seemed to be an outstanding representative of such dynamic strategy. I met him many times over the board, many times we analysed together, many times we discussed chess problems and, of course, I learned a great deal about chess from him." -- Vlastimil Jansa |
