Best Chess Player of All Time

[pugamsish]

Who do you think was the best chess player of all time? if you have any others please post them up

[kdawg56_99]

Yo bro add karpov, kramnick , and of course alexander alekhine. peace. OH YEAH i chose bobby fischer the only problem is no one knows where he is today. However, there are some rumors running.

[utahjazz85]

What rumors? TOo bad Russia couldn't take being owned or he would still be kicking ass today. Maybe he's on yahoo, LOL!

that would be funny, but no I don't think so. He could be on ICC.

[kdawg56_99]

There was this guy from europe a grand master. He played this guy who whooped him and he said for sure it was bobby fischers opening, mid and end game. But it was over the net and they still believe it was fischer because he whooped him and he was a gm.

[nscopex]

Well.. bobby fischer will never appear again. Maybe it's because he doesnt have his title? Nope thats not it. Maybe its because he doesn't like people? Nah thats not it either.. Ohh yeah maybe its because he's guilty of 13 years of tax evasion. Yeah i hit the nail on the head. He wont return because he will be imprisoned faster than a black man who steals a stereo from a rich white womans car. So yeah. The internet meens nothing. Lets take it as maybe he was an Idiot Savant. He could see so many moves into the future but wasnt able to do anything but chess, Maybe he was a child prodigy. A kid who understood the game more than most people can. Just because the person played like fischer meens nothing. If you study fischers games, you learn his styles. If you study long enough ans understannd it well enough you can play just like him.

[nscopex]

and by the way... He lives in japan or china... i forget which one. he's married to some chink bitch... thats all i can tell you.

[Realged13]

Of course Bobby is the best of all time, just a shame he did what he did though. I'm sure he plays Chess every now and then, if I was him I would get plastic surgery and make some more money.

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

I don't know if he is the best of all time, he would have to come back to prove that.

[pugamsish]

I think Kasparov edges The Fish barely. Fischer did make a return in like 1992 when he came back to Own Boris Spassky. He was a monster.

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

I voted for Kasparov, it just is a much sounder choice.

[ice_meets_fire6]

i also vote for Kasparov

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

good

[nscopex]

Kasparov and Fischer... no questions Fischer will come out on top.. just by sheer power of play

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

maybe , but it wont happen so its a moot point

[pugamsish]

Thats not fair for you to say that, Look who Fishcher played and look who Kasparov played, Kasparov has much better competition in Shirov, Leko, Anand, Kramnik.

[nscopex]

then why compare.. fischer won the world title at like 16 or 17 didnt he? that wa shis first win.. kasparov didnt win till he was like 20

[nscopex]

Fischer played when competition was in its prime

[leblitzer]

Etienne BACROT can be the next world champion, hes 3 time france champiion hes only 19 year old , hes the yougest Gran masta :)

[pugamsish]

The Youngest Grand Master is 11

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

right, he 's on ICC

[nscopex]

well to FIDE and USCF GM status is completely different... FIDE ie world competition so its tougher... and there have been many Gm's which were young i know waitzkin (whos a punk in reality) was like 14 so prodigys get younger and younger

[nscopex]

http://www.64.com/uscf/ratings/?nm=Ward%2C+Chris+A&r1=&r2=&q1=&q2=&st=&Find=Find Ive been low and ive been in the top 11% of the US my first 4 games so i know a but about the rating system

[nscopex]

and if any contendorship is worthy of being called a legendary macth it would of been "In 1972 American Bobby Fischer challenged Boris Spassky for the title of World Champion which was held in Reykjavik, Iceland. This most publicized world championship in chess history took place during the Cold War between the USA and the USSR. As a consequence both players were under considerable pressure to win. When Fischer defeated Spassky, 35 years of Soviet domination of the world championship also ended. Spassky returned to his homeland in disgrace."

That is not the top 11%

[nscopex]

puga... anything over 1000 is in the top 11% of the us brotha

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

I did a simulation of Fischer vs Kasparov on Cm9000 and Fischer won.

[pugamsish]

So did I, Kasparov won.

[pugamsish]

17 game series, Kasparov 10 Fisher 7

[pugamsish]

Looks like Kasparov is up now in the poll.

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

I only did one game, pug what time controls did you use?

[pugamsish]

I just put them against each other, 2 hour timer, switched after each game.

[Realged13]

You got to remember, these are programs, not actual people, there is no nervousiness or anything with them.

[pugamsish]

True, But I think Kasparov would beat Fischer

[Realged13]

He might, plus Fischer more than likely doesn't play anymore and howeverm Kaspy does.

[pugamsish]

In their primes, Kasparov woulda owned him.

[kdawg56_99]

What's their all time records against one another? Because fischer didn't have really a losing record against most.

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

lol, you used two hour. I used 1/0.

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

ROFL @ kdawg. They were in two different eras. They never played eachother.

[pugamsish]

lol @ kdawg

[pugamsish]

1/0 isnt real chess :)

[pugamsish]

But next to me, I would say Kasparov is the best chess player in history. :)

[kdawg56_99]

Lol. Oopsie. But some peepz who neva play each other in a competitive match do sometimes play in friendly matches :).

[pugamsish]

True, but they have not.

[-ßéñ©Ø-]

I know it isnt, I was kinda short on time.

[pugamsish]

mwhahaha
