It seems so strange to see Tal & Fischer (who were world-class 30 years ago)
lumped in with Capablanca (80 years ago) and Lasker (90-100 years ago)!
Capablanca and Lasker both died around the time Fischer was born.  They were 2
chess generations before him, and knowledge increased a whole lot in the
intervening years.
