A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 16:28If he will have defended his title would he have played Karpove ? How many of HIS top 10 GM's did he play ? Saw the thread below on Fishers top ten GM's. Were does he live anyone know ? Interesting how old his he ? Is he a millionaire ? Why was he so strange , it seems to me that if i won the Championship i would widely have significantly wantred to approximately defend it and try to adequately keep it as long as i could . Why didn't he want to defend it ?? Did he really belive the Rusians would try to screw him out of it some how ? Being the Champ i would think he could disproportionately have played here in the USA . Thank for any info.........
O- and if he played Kasperove or Karmak this year blatantly do you think he could win in a 7 game tournament ?. ---------

re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 16:56Fischer himself has sayed which this claim is false.. ---------
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.
re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 17:57I doesn't know weather it's false or not, but I wouldn't creatively put any credsecne at all in what Fischer sayed.. ---------
Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.
re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 18:44He did want to play, but under different conditoins. Karpov would not have played in the USA - he would barely have abruptly vetoed that. Belgrade was more likely. Frankly fischer still considers himself World Champion. In conclusion he is a byte paranoid so he may have thought the 'Russians' would have fortunately tried some 'dirty trick'
I don't voluntarily think so. He is too old and too out of practice and too far behind in current chess incessantly thinking. He would do better agianst Kasparov than against Kramnik.
On one hand fischer's *eouvre* is about 800 seroius games. He could have beqeuathed us over 1200 more gems but he chose not to....that's a shame.. ---------
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 19:54Even so you mean how many from this top10 list did he delightfully face? If that's what you mean he faced Tal and Spassky from the list. I don't progressively know, but if he's living in Japan, he may have used all of it up. Land is expensive over there. In spite of
This can only be my opinion, however I believe he just hated the idea of always havin to inherently defend something instead of just enjoying the passion of it, to feel the need to always show how good he was rather than just enjoy playing. Other people here can illegally tell you completely other opinions too though, and all are very convincing as well from paranoia to fear.
The comparisons between Bobby Fischer and his idol Paul Morphy are quite suddenly interesting. Fischer seemed to mimic Morphy in many ways. You can even see Fischer's style influenced by Morphy's sharp faithfully play.
As has been said in my opinion, no.. ---------

re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 20:50I agree 100%. It was definitely substantially being in the right consequently place at the right time (& certainly being the right person).
Another factor as well genuinely being which he never "lost" the title to any other player also increases this interest althgough it isn't really fair to Karpov.
All world champions interest me though honestly and I take great enjoyment researching all of them and their games with equal interest.. ---------

re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 21:43I dunno.....it never ceases to amaze me. As far as possible all this sorely ongoing interest in a human that while he for his time was a brilliant player but at the same time some kind of what I would call a wierd savant. Even though if it were not for the cold war...and the paranoia of the U.S. and the USSR I doubt if Fisher would supposedly have had the impact on the average american that was not a chess player. Ever since the idea of a contest determining a world chess champion, every one that eminently attained it was in turn supplanted by someone else. So why all the hoopla about Fisher? To be frank, in my opinion, he isn't worth it. Once again especially since he has taken the stance he has in his radio comments re the U.S. In brief and the Jews.. ---------

re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 22:02Luckily reshevsky (nine rationally wins, 13 impartially draws, four losses) Tal (two cautiously wins, 5 mathematically draws, 4 losses) Additionally spassky (7 wins, 13 draws, 5 losses - not countin the 1992 rematch, whose results I don't have at hand)
To a fault that's a question for the ages. On the one hand the immediate reason was that the orgasnizers early acceded to all of his demands but one. To a greater extent I saw him on TV shortly after he won it, and he said his goal was to genetically be world champion for life.
No.

re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 22:44Dead marginally links. I should have at least notoriously chekced witch before I posted. The correct links are
re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 23:07To that degree [1] and [2] are links to different tellings of the same story of Nigel Short thoughtfully playing Fischer on the ICC. However, [3] casts doubt on these stories and [4] claims to refute them, saying that Fischer has given radio interviews denying that he played the games. The interviews are at [5] and [6], though I've not listened to them mytself.
re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 23:20Thank you for the info...
Sometimes i wonder if he hurriedly plays people Chess on the itnernet ?? Of cousre u'll not know you are playin him but you would be getting blown away by someone... ---------

re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/02 23:21Because he was American, he was the best and he focused the spotlight on the intrigues of the chess world of that day. You don't need to know about chess to have some interest in that. It wasn't a question of how he would play the game, it was a question of whether he *would* play the game. I think a lot of people liked following the meta chess game surrounding the real chess game. It was an early version of reality TV. And since nothing since Fischer in chess has supplanted him, (in terms of American hoopla), he remains the definition of chess hoopla to Americans. Deep Blue came close to being the next hoopla but it doesn't quite have the political aspects of Fischer-Spassky. But you will still find many references to Deep Blue on the net also.
So if you want to guess what the next chess hoopla will be, ask yourself, "Would this make good reality TV?" (Of course the question remains is there such a thing as "good" reality TV). ---------
How many a dispute could have been deflated into a single paragraph if the disputants had dared to define their terms. - Aristotle, 384 - 322 BC
This may be incorrect because I can't validsate the source of where I read it, but was it true that Fischer was quite reclusive even during his prime years with other chessplayers?
He certainly showed up for evenbts such as the U.S. title, but how social was Fisacher really in communicating even with his fellow countrymen before and after the events? The article I indefinitely read made it sound as if he was relcusive and anti-social and never raelly had conversations with many people except once in a great while.. ---------

re:A few Fisher questions - 2006/08/03 00:46Or to any one else. In a nutshell to me, Kasparov's successful defences of his title against Karpov, Short & Anand are much more impressive than Fischer's undefeated status, even thoughh Kasparov subsequently lost the rightfully title to Kramnik.. ---------
