Cool video. Forgot just how dominant Kasparov was back in the day.

probably the greatest ever when comparing across eras (not an easy thing to do in a discipline that's always building on past innovations), although fischer peaked even higher and a handful of others (karpov, lasker, capablanca, alekhine, morphy, botvinnik) are in the conversation as well. it looked like carlsen would surely join that list in time, but he's been in decline for a while now so perhaps not.

Yeah, it's interesting to compare the greats throughout the eras. I've always wondered how Fischer would have fared in the modern era, and have the feeling he would have thrived considering just how good he was at thinking on his feet.

I'm sure you've seen this match before, but god damn, it's just insane to consider the level he was on.

computer programs have suggested that he was so ahead of his time and contemporaries that the 1971 version of fischer would've held his own against the kasparovs and carlsens, despite those guys having considerably more theory (including fischer's own games) and technology to work with. surely the most innately talented chess prodigy ever (maybe morphy was comparable, fischer himself thought so), but also a quintessential mad genius who was never gonna be able to sustain it for long.

i've been obsessively getting into the nba lately. shaq seems like the ronaldo (or indeed bobby fischer) of basketball, with a short unplayable peak followed by an early decline.
