Viswanathan Anand would have cleaned Kasparov's clo

It is ridiculous to compare champions from different eras since each new generation builds their game on the lessons learned from the previous generation. One can only compare where a particular player stood amongst his peers in his or her time. In that regard Bobby Fischer was in a league of one. If you look at what he did and the context and conditions in which he did it he clearly is in a league of one. He was a freak among freaks. That he "freaked out" after hitting the top says nothing about what he was in terms of talent up until that point.

What Bobby Fischer did would be comparable for a highschool quarterback from Iceland jumping into the college ranks and then going on to the NFL and breaking all the single season records for passing. If that were to happen there would be a good argument that such a person was the best quarterback ever. Even if this imaginary person walked away from the game after a couple years and made no mark on any of the career records for quarterbacks in the NFL.
