Just a short correction without entering the thread. You are making the same
mistake, Ingo Althöfer made. You identify label and real content. Larsen or
Taimanov never were "world champion calibre". And then it's a well known fact
that if you want to win you could run into desaster. I'm sure they could have
drawn a few games. But they wanted to Win. Petrosian was the only "calibre" of
the three opponents of Fischer.
