  1. Re: Who is Bobby Fischer? on Bobby Fischer Online? · · Score: 1

    If the original poster meant "match" that doesn't make a lot of sense because in 60's the majority of chess activity was on tournaments, NOT matches. There use to be only a final match to decide who will face the current champion (if I remember correctly). Beofore 3 matches Fischer won for the 1972 title (Taymanov, Larsen, Petrossyan) he either played no offical matches, or if he did, he lost them.

    Anyway, Fischer won a lot of games and a number of tournaments but he DIDN't WIN every game nor
    every tournament. And before sometime in late 60's he was just ONE of many good players...

    Though Fischer is one of the greatest chess players ever he DIDN'T win EVERY game ("basically" or otherwise) between 1962 and 72.

    But true enough, on his way to the 1972 title he did destroy Taymanov and Larsen, both 6:0, almost unbeleivable...

    One other important point is the absence of Matsushita (and thereby National/Panasonic and Aiwa)

    1) Matsushita is absent possibly because it's one of major investors in Symbian.

    2) Why do you put Aiwa here ?? Its major shareholder is Sony (over 50%), not M. !
