Let King Kakumakamaka have the last word:

I read a number of books re Fischer ("Searching For" and also the other book by Waitzkem primarily centred on his son and Kasparov. Both books are great).

I learned a lot from Fischer who I think had a style somewhere between that of Karpov, Tarrasch, Capablanca and with some of Kasparov's fiery genius added in. I even used a trap he himself had found in Shakmaty and played against Reshevsky's Accelerated Dragon.

However, wonderful as many of his great games are and his performance prior to 1972, when I more recently studied all the matches leading up to the Spassky match I wasn't so impressed (a similar thing also when I (just recently) played over the 2nd Alekhine-Bogoljubov match, in which there are few games by Alekhine that are as impressive as one might have expected given his status - by and large Bogoljubov played better games and lost for what were clearly psychological reasons - time trouble also being a factor. Now this doesn't prove he was a better player, but that the difference, the "wow" factor, is somewhat lessened)...

The same, more or less, holds for Fischer and his opponents leading up to the 1972 match although I think by and large he made fewer errors in that lead up (than Alekhine against Bogoljubov, and of course the circumstances and much else are very different). The fact of chess is that it IS a game that goes outside pure chess technique and whether Fischer knew that or not it is no problem that his opponents succumbed (Taimanov, Larsen etc) far more rapidly than they "should" have.

Larsen helped Fischer by not liquidating into draws: that is his obstinacy was a big factor. Taimanov seemed like a man asleep. Petrosian didn't back himself. Fischer played some of the greatest end games, and some of the greatest games, but most, like the games of most players, were "normal".

But of the games leading up to that time of 1972 and including the WCs he played some very great classic strategic masterpieces: and those games, including the games of all the "greats" are what distinguishes these players at their best (not 20 move combinations although tactical "flare" has to interact with this strategical or positional ability).

Kasparov, incredible as he was, met his match in Kramnik: but Kasparov seemed to take the best of many great GMs and synthesize them. Like Fischer he had a dynamic presence in chess.

Fischer's "greatness" in some ways is linked to his enormous charisma. Paradoxically, for a man whose mother was Jewish, and a radical (tailed by the various agencies as Fischer was for association too much with the Russians!).

I think the Soviet players liked Fischer (esp. the young Fischer and admired his play: Tal did, Tal seemed to be a very likeable and witty man, but a serious thinker (asked what the US could do for the world in a - about 1971 US Chess Review) he said:
