Moreover, it is relevant whether he won that particular game. >He played 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d6 and almost won the game. The fact is, Kasparov did an enormous amount of preparation for this match, including opening study. This would be much more difficult in FischerRandom. >I am sure kasparov can beat almost everyone also in shuffle chess > >Bobby Fischer is part of history. The above two sentences are hardly worth debating, they prove nothing and add nothing to the debate. >I believe that he has no chance in a match of shuffle chess against every >player with at least 2700 rating. The wins that Spassky pulled off in their second match were news for Fischer fans. Can anyone provide a qualified opinion re the respective endgame abilities of the current top ten? I found that FischerRandom often just results in the stronger player simplifying into the endgame, thus removing any disadvantage of not being able to use a superior opening 'memory.' >Uri
