Legends Match - Spassky vs. Karpov
An interesting battle took place a few days ago that pitted old-timers Boris Spassky and Anatoly Karpov against each other in a legends chess match. And what really surprised me was that Spassky won the 2-game match.
Both men played a pivotal role in Fischer's history - Spassky who lost his Chess Championship title to Fischer in 1972, and Karpov who inherited the title in 1975 when Fischer refused to defend it.

Nice website. I hope to see Fischer playing again one day. (and why not a big chess game ? :> )
best wishes.
Fischer is finished...sad to say.......sorry ....He cant even beat the womens world champ anymore....he's just burnt out.
Fisher is not finished..
i bet he can beat you in 20moves or less he will always be the best chess player in the world. And yes this site is good
Fischer is not finished and he is not going to play traditional chess again unless the people setting up the match concede to all his requirements. He believes that the current matches are fixed. (He may be correct with nanotechnology and computers who knows how long they may have been staged) His accusations not withstanding he has openly stated that he will not play traditional chess. His decision saddens those of us who admire and respect the man who dominated the chess board for so long. But his genius can also be seen in that leaving the way he did before what he considered the absolute corruption of the FIDE, he will always be considered the world champion. If dragging his name through the mud somehow makes you feel better about yourself on a blog set up to showcase his achievements, then you are one sorry individual. I don’t know you or your chess game, but my guess is that if you ever had the honor, to sit across the chess board from Bobby Fischer you would be totally dominated and beaten like so many others. Maybe I’m wrong and someday their will be a blog honoring your great chess achievements? But I seriously doubt it.
Who knows ,there might already be a new Bobby Fischer,exactly the same,the same temper,the same skills ,the same individuality and the same proud,remembering eyes and presence
