Yes, but Anand was playing rapid chess and wasn't in form. He's also known to be
a good anti-computer player. In 1999 he made short work of Fritz 6, albiet he
lost one game to the beast.

Funny, I never commented on Fischer?! Hmmm....I think subconsciously he
infuriates me for many reasons....I doubt he could handle this computer either
he's too out of shape and dementia is setting in, has been for many years.
I both detest Fischer and admire him, but only to the extent of his genius at
the game, but that is failing him now and it showed in 1992, so today he would
be worse. Fischer is Dead. Actually I'm sorry to say that, as I believe he was
the strongest, most brilliant player that ever lived! Too bad.
