Karpov was young and people forget that Fischer beat Spassky because he figured him out - he was beyond obsessed. Had Fischer remained active, I firmly believe he beats Karpov but that it would have been closer for the first few games. Had they played under the scenario that was with Fischer not being active; I think he loses.

karpov was stronger than spasky and in some way in strength of kasparov or littly bit less so ithink karpov he should be so tough to fisher

Positional God vs Creativity God. Would have been a great sight to behold.

Anand is the goat bcos he rose to the forefront in an era without computers and did not have access to material that soviets had.

Karpov lost to Peter Leko ages ago. Even Prime Karpov would lose to Peter Leko.

Fischer is overrated. Fischer never dominated Spassky and he struggled with him, even though he could beat him. On the other hand, Karpov, Kasparov, Anand and Carlsen would destroy Spassky. Judit Polgar beat Spassky too.

The woman is cute.

Fischer is fischer, don't get is fucked up

You could not beat Fisher Rusky not even Kasparov

Ik heb boeken van Bobby Fischer. Hij was zeker sterk in het middenspel. Ik denk dat Karpov of Fischer. Even sterk waren geweest. Ach ze hebben nooit tegen elkaar gespeeld.

Fischer would have Crushed Karpov by at least 10 wins to 4. He was a monster on the chessboard

Kasparov's coach Nikitin said that Karpov had no chance against Fischer, especially in a long match

Fischer is an extremely talented and gifted chess player. But he couldn't waste time and refuse the match with Karpov. Even if he had lost, he would have had the opportunity to take revenge. What he did was not a crime against his own career. It was a crime against chess.

Nah 1975 fisher would mop the floor with him. Maybe a little bit later like 78 or 79. Karpov would won.

Kasparov thought Karpov was the favourite. He goes into great detail about it in My Great Predecessors. Guess that suited his narrative in his place in chess history however.

My all-time favorite world champion!

Thumps down for Karpov in Doema (дума) supporting the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Fisher would have won! Fishers rating 2785 in 1970, is something like Carlsen today. Further he had better calculation power, stamina and positional understanding.

Karpov, Kasparov and Capablanca are the greatest players in modern chess. Great as players and honorable in their personal attitude.

Karpov 5 x 0 und dann begann Kasparov zu spielen, der 48 Spiele unentschieden spielte und die Konfrontation um 4 Monate verlängerte. Er selbst gab zu, dass er nicht wusste, dass Karpov ein so starker Spieler war und dass er seine Macht für verloren hielt. Dann begann er auf Befehl eines neuen Beraters gegen Karpovs körperliche Erschöpfung zu spielen.

Карпов 5х0, а затем заиграл Каспаров, сыграв вничью 48 партий и продлив противостояние на 4 месяца. Сам он признался, что не знал, что Карпов настолько сильный игрок, и считал свою игру потерянной. Затем по указанию нового советника он начал играть против физического истощения Карпова.

Karpov 5 x 0 y luego Kasparov empezó a jugar, empatando 48 partidas y extendiendo el enfrentamiento por 4 meses. Él mismo admitió que no sabía que Karpov era un jugador tan fuerte y consideraba que su máquina estaba perdida. Luego, bajo las órdenes de un nuevo asesor, empezó a jugar contra el agotamiento físico de Karpov.

Karpov 5 x 0 puis Kasparov ont commencé à jouer, faisant 48 matchs nuls et prolongeant la confrontation pendant 4 mois. Il a lui-même admis qu'il ne savait pas que Karpov était un joueur aussi fort et considérait sa victoire comme perdue. Puis, sous les ordres d'un nouveau conseiller, il se met à jouer contre l'épuisement physique de Karpov.

Karpov 5 x 0 and then Kasparov started to play, drawing 48 games and extending the confrontation for 4 months. He himself admitted that he didn't know that Karpov was such a strong player and considered his mach lost. Then, under the orders of a new advisor, he began to play against Karpov's physical exhaustion.

Fischer lacked nerve. What's the point of raw skill if you don't have the nerve to hold the title against the combined efforts of the chess world. No champion before Fischer, or since, has shrunk from that challenge. He didn't have what it takes to win and defend a world championship. Which is actually pretty sad that he didn't have the mental health resources and other supports in his life when he was young. If he were born today, with modern mental health support, and being able to train as a child on chess engines, he very well could have a decade plus of world championing under his belt. Doing sponsorships he agrees with, living a pretty good life. The idea of breaking international law and being a stooge for an embargoed country would be unthinkable to this hypothetical Fischer. Then again, growing up with the internet, with conspiracy theories and social media bubbles reinforcing quite frankly insane beliefs, maybe Fischer would be worse off today. Anyway Karpov was the better chess player, even if Fischer had a better natural affinity for winning at chess. Karpov would have won in 1978 for certain, probably 1975 too considering how completely unhinged Fischer was at that point.

Karpov seems to have had a good attitude about it. Interesting that there were political issues on his side as well. I would really have liked to see that match, as Fischer was clearly the best attacker in the world, and Karpov very probably the best defender.

play the position not the player

Magnus is credit to chess; he not only plays extremely well but is very articulate and informative in his interview answers.

such a stupid question

Fischer would have won

Current classical score: 14 to 1 for Magnus...

That's because Magnus is Magnificent!

decent answer

Legend!!

Speculating Fischer's level after 3 years of assumed halt of study is ludicrous and impossible to evaluate. What we know for a fact is that Fischer from 1971/1972 would comfortably beat Karpov in 1975.

your name sounds fisher or fish type)

Without more information, Fischer would have won, 75 rating points is a lot. However, we need to know the answer to these questions before we can begin to answer that question. 1. How much chess did Fischer play and study between 1972-75. I suspect very little (we know that he didn't play any competitive chess). 2. How much time would FIDE give Fischer to prepare for the match? 3. How much had Fischer’s mental illness taken a toll on Fischer’s mental capabilities in 1975?

No is the answer

Karpov one of the greatest

At that time if they,d met fischer would have won simple as that diff class.

fischer will b world champion from 72 to 85…if he cont!

If Kasparov hadn't come along, we would be talking about Karpov as potential GOAT

karpov was not at his best in 1975. His play during his winning match against korchnoi in 1974 was not convincing. He would have lose against fischer. The karpov of 1981-1984 would have been a toughest opponent.

In chess terms: Magnus is talking about advantages in the end game that are invisible to engines because they see all the solutions to the tactical complications, but are visible to humans because they can't calculate everything. Instead humans require imagination and creativity to come up with these ideas and counter-ideas to create or nullify various endgame advantages. Magnus excels at finding these ideas at all stages of the game.

Nah, Magnus won a lot even slight disadvantage endgame or dry endgame a lot. Like he said he seemed to look for edges when others already assuming the valuation.

The greatest positional player of all time. One of the greatest players of this century and beyond.

I like to see his analysis of game 13

From this I think Karpov would have won

Definitely Not!! He had a hard time beating Victor, Fischer would've walked all over him, Karpov is mentally weak he broke down against Kasparov, as for being in the top 5 you need to read chess literature and study game collections, he is top 10 at best!

I think the "fighting spirit" he mentions is key. Carlsen considers himself an athlete and like all sports, your ability to continue fighting is a key at the highest levels.
