Fischer or Kasparov greatest ever (1 Viewer)

Who do you think?

Chess is now officially a sport?

To be fair, they're both overrated. Alekhine was better. Just an opinion, of course

i couldnt find anywhere else to put except here (maybe more in hobbies, interest, sport next time)

u say alekhine, but if u look at the record of kasparov and fischer (wins and losses and draws) u will see they dominated more than alekhine in their respctive eras

what about viswanathan anand - he's meant to be good isnt he...

btw I have no idea about chess grandmasters, and am not into chess.

 

[rantman]

anand has never been world champion, so u can rule him out

Well if you use stats as the only guideline, that's fair enough. But style comes into it when you're talking about preference of "greatest ever."

Wasn't Kasparov the one beaten by a computer?

Ay

By Deep Blue, iff my memory serves me well, tonight.

Still, Bob hasn't done much better.

In my opinion, I am the best.

EDIT: Oh wait, no I'm not.

Fischer, because he bad-mouthed America and was eventually kicked out of the country. Sort of.
