I'm a big fan of Bobby Fischer, too bad he never played Kasparov. I believe that he would smash him.

I think Kasparov is stronger. I'm not the only one to think so

Fischer played before computers were available to train chess players. I think it makes a difference. Today's game is different from what it was 40 years ago.

Computers are stronger, anyway.

Well, Kasparov played in a time when computers were weaker than men. I would still bet on Fischer.
