Message:
Though Fischer random chess is not as good, it would still be marvellous to see them both sat opposite each other over the board.

Play online chess | I just read
Message:
on chessgames.com that Fischer mentioned playing against Topalov in Fischerrandom. I think he also said something about playing Kasparov. He also asserted that he was still the world champion of chess.
I would love to see Fischer come back. It's not too late. That damned mad genius could surprise us all.

Carlsen stays cool atop rankings — Magnus Carlsen of Norway is a distinctly modern chess phenomenon. At 20, he is the world’s highest-rated chess player. He is also a millionaire — thanks to a lucrative sponsorship agreement with the G-Star apparel company — who can look forward to an expanding list of such commercial deals in the future. Off the board and on the board, Carlsen seems to do it all with a minimum of storm and stress. Unlike the legendary Bobby Fischer, he is not — as he is happy to point out — obsessed with chess. Last year, Carlsen surprised the chess community by turning down an invitation to take part in the cycle for the world chess championship. After calling for changes in the selection process and ...

Play online chess | absurd declarations
Message:
Fischer is not the world champion. He refused to defend his title.
Currently there are two champions, and for a change, both deserve our respect for the way the earned it. Kramnik defended his successfully, although his results have been abyssmal the past few years outside of his match with Leko.
If Kramnik stymies negotiations with FIDE and Topalov, he will be stripped of his title the way Fischer was. As corrupt as FIDE is, it must have some authority. Of course, FIDE would need to recognize something before they could take it away, and that recognition will undermine some of the organization's absurd claims in recent years.

On Chess: For some greats, money is no issue — Have you ever considered hiring a chess teacher for yourself or a child? You might ask Magnus Carlsen for his advice. Under the tutelage of Garry Kasparov for a year or so starting in 2009, the 20-year-old Norwegian became the highest-rated chess player in the world. But there is a rub: the question of affordability. According to Carlsen’s father, Henrik, Kasparov’s fee was $690,000 — probably more than the former Russian world chess champion made for any comparable effort in his career. For Magnus, whom Henrik described as “not that interested in money,” Kasparov’s fee probably was no big deal. Largely, because of a sponsorship arrangement with the clothing manufacturer G-Star, the chess whiz earned ...
