Chess has a long history. There have been, and there are now, many outstanding chess giants from whom we can learn plenty of key concepts today. Chess players often raise the question of who is the best chess player ever. It’s not a debate that is easily resolved, and only gets more difficult as more young players come up through the ranks and stake their claim to chess history.
This is always a controversial topic and while we can’t truly know how the players would face off against each other, it is entertaining, and educational, to speculate and examine key concepts from both players.
In his second video of his three-part series on “Fischer vs Carlsen: Who Is Better?” GM Damian Lemos talks about these two outstanding chess geniuses.
On the one hand, there is the current World Chess Champion, Magnus Carlsen, and on the other hand there is Bobby Fischer, former World Chess Champion and one of the greatest legends in the history of the game, a household name.
Carlsen vs Fischer – it is tough to compare these two players who never had a chance to play against each other. However, what we can do today is analyze their approaches to certain areas of the game.
This time, GM Lemos takes a closer look at how both players have dealt with playing the Sicilian Defense with Black.
Firstly, GM Lemos analyzes a fantastic win by Magnus Carlsen against Peter Svildler in a blindfold game from 2003. Magnus usually performs extremely well in complicated positions. Apart from his superb calculation skills, he knows how to navigate through these types of positions. That said, however, we have to admit that complicated middlegame positions are a key strength of his opponent, Peter Svidler, from Russia.
Secondly, GM Lemos turns his attention to a nice win by Bobby Fischer against Robert Byrne from 1967 in another complicated middlegame. How do Fischer’s and Carlsen’s approach to this area of the game differ?
