That isn't to say that some players maybe get better with age, but these are players that still play regularly. But in Fischer's case we have the Spassky match from Yugoslavia as one example. Fischer never lost it over the board simply because he refused to defend it. >karpov is nobody he never won the title over the board from kasparov .if deep >blue was not deactivated then i say deep blue would posibly be unbeatable in >match play .the processors are faster now maybe instead of 200,000,000 nps then >it could be 1,000,000,000 nps .that would make it stronger kasparov >,fischer,karpov are not getting stronger they are getting weaker as they get >older . Karpov was clearly the best player in the world for 10 years, his record during that time in both tourney and match play was one of the best if not the best in history. He won the title legitamately by winning the qualifying matches and therefore earned the right to play Fischer in 1975, it was Fisher's refusal to play that resulted in Karpov being declared World Champion. Karpov IMHO never got the credit he deserved. Sadly now he is out of the top 10 yet still a truly great player. Thanks.
