at least he did won it.....
he did dominant a hell more than Carlsen.
and he did had over 125 points ELO difference between him and spasky (#2 in the world not with 15 other players...)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer
"After beating Spassky by the score 12½–8½ in their 1972 match, his rating dropped to 2780.[205]"
u crush the #2 in the world and u still loose ELO, how can u reach more than he did ?
"reigning World Champion Viswanathan Anand described him as "the greatest chess player who ever lived."
but who is he to know such a thing
"Fischer's great rival Mikhail Tal praised him as "the greatest genius to have descended from the chess heavens".
believe what u want but imo i would trust them a bit more for no particular reason....
but thinking Carlsen should be consider better then fisher just yet , i lol....
he might be able to surpass fisher and kasparov in time , no doubt about it but hold down your horses and this match is far from being the match that will decide where Anand will hold in history..
Anand is not in his prime for sure and Carlsen is just beginning his reign, tho it will at least gives us some hint about it.
