| Mar-19-20 | | The Rocket: Karpov opined that Kasparov no longer had an advantage when everybody had a computer.... We know that's historically inaccurate (Kasparov was still dominating in 2001). While it is true that Kasparov had first hand copies of updated Fritz in his Anand match before the rest of the field, they did get it eventually! Kasparov was World Champion long before commercial chess engines were a thing and long afterwards. Sad to hear Karpov talk that way about Gary. He basically reduced him as a chess player to a strong tactician, which is a total misrepresentation. Here is the interview.

 | | perfidious: Kasparov remained dominant in tournament play after his loss of the title and was only equalled by Anand at the very end of his career, some four years later. Pity Karpov feels as he does--even Capablanca, much as he loathed Lasker on a personal basis, acknowledged his greatness to the last. |
|
| Mar-19-20 | | RookFile: It is an interesting point. When everybody has a computer, it's the one who has the most zeal, who works the hardest, that will dominate. Right now, that's Carlsen. |

| Mar-19-20 | | The Rocket: <It is an interesting point. When everybody has a computer, it's the one who has the most zeal, who works the hardest, that will dominate. Right now, that's Carlsen.> Carlsen is not the hardest worker.
Carlsen is not the hardest worker.... He has probably the least opening knowledge of the top players. its just soar grapes on Karpovs part. He had the same complaints about seconds back when there weren't commercial engines. That Kasparov had a hole team of super grandmasters while Karpov was stuck with Polugaevsky (I believe it was). As if those super grandmasters had amazing insights to tell Kasparov 99% of the time.. He beat SGMs in clock simuls. |

 | | offramp: Carlsen certainly loves to play chess. He is not one of those champions that don't care whether they play or not, like Capablanca, Petrosian and Spassky. Carlsen seems to be playing chess every waking hour. |

| Mar-19-20 | | ewan14: BIG reveal here - Sally Simpson used to
be the
caretaker of the Edinburgh Chess Club. The SECOND oldest chess club in the world therefore extremely historic. He had the honour of showing Anatoly around |
|
| Mar-19-20 | | ewan14: So what had Karpov prepared for Fischer in 1975 ? |
|
| Mar-19-20 | | ewan14: Karpov would have been under a great deal of pressure to regain the W.C. for the Soviet Union |
|
Mar-19-20
 | | harrylime: Bobby would have whacked Anatoly in 75 |
|

 | | Retireborn: <harrylime> Doubt it. If Fischer had remained an active player after 72 I'd have made him the favourite, but weighed down by three years of rust, no. |

 | | Joshka: <ewan14> Had the chance to ask Karpov that question, and he told me in exact phrase...'The Spanish" |
|
| Mar-20-20 | | The Rocket: <Doubt it. If Fischer had remained an active player after 72 I'd have made him the favourite, but weighed down by three years of rust, no.> It doesn't take long to get back into it with only 3 years and he still played chess. Fischer did everything better than Karpov. It isn't even debate who played higher quality chess in the 70s, and Karpov in the 80s still had weaknesses. Fischer had no discernible weaknesses in the 70s. He's still human and would have lost a game or two, possibly three against Anatoly Karpov. But that's were the fun ends. There are far more intriguing match-ups than those two guys. |
|
| Mar-20-20 | | ewan14: Joshka - many thanks
'' The Spanish '' as black !!
Bobby would still be answering e4 with , mainly , the Sicilian Nadjorf and Anatoly would play Be2 ? I remember David Bronstein was asked his thought on the openings in 1975 and he thought Fischer would go back to the K.I.D. and the Grunfeld !? |
|
| Mar-20-20 | | ewan14: Fischer only played one serious game in 1969 |
|
| Mar-21-20 | | The Rocket: <Had the chance to ask Karpov that question, and he told me in exact phrase...'The Spanish"> Good luck... |

| | harrylime: Strip away everything and just look at Fischer as a chess player ... Nobody really comes close ...
Carlsen is a product of this digital age.
You think Robert Fischer could not have been a bit handy himself with all this digital stuff ?? lol lol lol lol |

You think Robert Fischer could not have been a bit handy himself with all this digital stuff ?? lol lol lol lol> That was only for a few years compared to his entire career. If you compare them lifetime, Kasparov was a far stronger chessplayer. |

| Mar-21-20 | | The Rocket: Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1962 |
|
Mar-21-20
| | perfidious: The only example of Fischer falling into a known opening trap. Big effing deal.
Time to extirpate some <kudzu>...... |
