Even in a year. I think the year would be more to Karpov's advantage than
Fischer's frankly. Karpov's game has declined mostly as a result of a dsitinct
lack of interest. If here were to muster interest and training for a year, I
think Fischer would be clobbered. At this point in time, I think the best
Fischer could hope for would be to minimize the loss. Still, this is all
speculation as I don't believe in such a match for a second.
BTW, I think Fischer would have beat Karpov in 75.
