    From watching Karpov and Fischer best moves, I could see why the former could've been a serious threat to the latter. I mean, Karpov was a positional player that contrasted Fischer's style. If they played, I would put my money on Anatoly Karpov.

    • @avishddutta9025
      @avishddutta9025 11 місяців тому +1

      They didn’t exactly contrast. People were fans of Fischer’s attacking, dynamic play. However, in terms of style, he was a mix of both calm and dynamic play. Both Karpov and Fischer were excellent positional players, at least in my opinion.
