  i think karpov would destroy fischer, first of all according to many karpov is
the second best player of all time, and he is not as far removed from tournament
play as fischer. Fishers only real advantage is in the mind of people who think
that he is larger than myth. Fischer did not play people of the same strength
that karpov played, it was a whole different ball game, if karpov was at his
peak during the time that fischer beat larsen 6-0 he would do the exact same
thing, but worse. my opinion ofcourse
