At the very least you could spell Mr Fischer's name correctly.
You could even show enough respect to use a Capital Letter for his name.
You have doubly insulted the person you are trying to promote.
Mr Fischer is a dangerous man to doubly insult.

>is a creative chess player

was a creative chess player...

>who does not depend only on book knowledge,

he depended very heavily on book knowledge, his nose was always in chess books,
and his knowledge of opening lines was excellent.  His opening repetior (sp?),
granted over only 700 odd games, was actually quite narrow.

>he would have outplayed and out witted the huge chess library d.b.

You are implying that Deeper Blue's strength was from it's opening book.  You
are implying that Deeper Blue "depend only on book knowledge".  You should give
Deeper Blue a lot of credit for the very many moves it calculated itself.

Or are you implying that Gary Kasparov "depend only on book knowledge" and
that's why he lost the match?

How do you know Fischer would have beaten Deeper Blue?  Or is it just your
opinion?

>he has never been given the huge credit he deserves for making chess so >poplar,

Of course he has.  It's a well known fact that his achievements brought a huge
resurgence in the poplarity (sic) of chess, throughout the world, as well as the
USA.  Should this still be restated thirty years later?

Why on earth should someone who has not played in around 30 years (1 promotional
match in 1992 aside) be getting mentioned during the great tournaments today?

Why should we here even think about him when we are discussing computer chess,
he has had no valid input to computer chess?

Oh dear,
it's another sunny day at Sunny Mount Kembla.
