When was that, if I may ask? Before Kasparov retired Anand was never near Kasparov and scored 3-16 in classical games against him (15-1 to Kasparov after a couple of early losses in the beginning of the 1990s). Then Carlsen has been the clearly stronger of the two the last 7-8 years. That leaves maybe 2007-08, and even during those years Carlsen was second behind Anand in Linares both times in spite of still being 16-17 and far from top ten.

fabel,Anand is not in his prime anymore.To add to that,Anand had lots of great chess players in his prime-Kasparov,Karpov and many to count..Just due to this reason,we cannot forget Anand.

Take a look at Magnus Carlsen-he is great now only because he has no tough opponents-Anand,Kasparov,Vassily etc. are fading away due to old age.Magnus beating Anand and Magnus coming second in Linares was when Magnus was young,whereas Anand was already getting old.Also,Anand losing to Magnus has nothing to do with play but only with age-Magnus is young and has the advantage,Anand is old,fading and has the disadvantage.

Not only that,Anand is a great universal player,he can change his playstyle accordingly,also he knows what to do to win.

It is a shame he has gotten older now and is blundering,but that happens to all chess players.

Had a player like Kasparov been born and now in the same age group as Magnus,it would be a heated battle.Magnus just does not have any good opponents as of now.

Also,Anand is an Indian wink.png

P.S. English is not my first language so my wording sucks.

I trust Ivanchuk's judgement on this one. He thinks Capablanca, Fischer and Kasparov are the strongest ever, considering both their absolute strength, and how they evolved chess during their reign. Personally I'd say it's a toss up between Fischer and Kasparov, though Capablanca would probably be their equal if born in a later age.

How did Fischer evolve chess during his reign? He didn't play a single game.

You can be sure that after defeating US champion Reshewski at 14 of age and becoming the youngest champion ever, Fischer reign begun. Aged 23, Fischer would win every match or tournament he completed for the rest of his life (Wikipedia). Also continued by 11-0 in US championship of 1963/1964 and 6-0 against Taimanow also 6-0 against Larsen before winning the World chess Crown.

So Tal, Petrosian and Spassky never even reigned as World Champions, since Fischer did it already from 1957 by failing to finish top three in the Candidates 1959 and 1962?

mcris

He defeated them all.

Zurab Azmaiparashvili is the best player.
