Fischer was not afraid of Karpov. He was afraid of losing to anyone. If he had been an active champion and then refused to play Karpov then we could say maybe he was scared. Fischer wouldn't play against anyone after he won the title. Of course, I am a Karpov fan so I am not saying he would lose. Regards Tony
