Go up one level in this thread


I would say so. Fischer crushed Petrosian like no one else was able (3-1
USSR-RestofWorld and 6.5-2.5 in their following Candidates match--go see how
Spassky did in two World Championship matches), and Karpov's style was like
Tigran's. In fact Karpov v. Petrosian is very nearly dead even. I'd have to
check megabase for an exact figure, but it was very close...and this even when
Petrosian was in decline.
