Thank you for the info .....

Id like to see that match today Karpove vs Fischer .......They should
do it before one of them dies...
I bet Fischer plays on line chess computers so he is probably still
sharp i am sure Karpove is still sharp too ...But unfortunately that
game will never happen..

In the first championship game Fischer vs Spasky , Spasky playing
white moved and hit his clock and Fischer was not even in the room and
after 6 minutes went off his clock he showed up and moved ..Trying to
intimidate Spasky from the start ......That is as far as i got in the
book before i put it back on the shelf.

If the book claims Fischer arrived late to intimidate Spassky (or any
other opponent for that matter), the book is not to be trusted. As a
friend of his back then, I know Fischer never attempted to intimidate
anyone. He was just being Fischer, far more timid than most writers would
have you think.

Yes Ian, while that is so, another factor is this:-
Chessville: In your interview from 2002 with Joel Lautier you said about
your famous 1971 Candidate's match with Bobby Fischer "The terrible feeling
that I was playing against a machine which never made any mistake shattered
my resistance." This is strongly echoed by what Konstantin Sakaev said
about facing Kasparov, "Really, an energy radiated by Kasparov during the
game..." Have there been other players about whom you would say the same
sort of 'energy' effected their opponents, much to the same degree that
Fischer & Kasparov did?

Mark Taimanov: I think that this enormous charge of energy is present with
R. Fischer and G. Kasparov and radiated in even greater degree by Misha Tal.
