Fisher is the only one in this group who had no access to any kind of computer aid. Being million game databases or chess engines which can analyze games overnight to insane depths. I am thinking he could have been a GM easily if he was 11 years old today using the computers as a tool. Or if he was in his prime today using computer aids he would have been the dominating player in the world. Perhaps even stronger then Kasparov. Any thoughts on this subject? Murat :.
