Fischer hasn't played since around the time DB played, and uh, most >people still consider him the Champ. Most people? Americans I think :) IMO chess has evolved a lot since then, a lot of litterature comming out every year, if you don't stay on top (remember it is really a science at super GM level), then you will soon be history. I believe the current world champion will always be the all time world champion. Now if Fischer had been at his peak today, it would have been a good fight, but Fischer back then against Kasparov today would get killed. >And trust me, he is *plenty* dismantled. ;) So you heard the radio interviews ;) Oh, almost forgot: 1. Kasparov (playing his best) 2. Deep Blue 3. Fritz 7.0.0.6 -S.
