Fischer has always straddled that fine line between genius and insanity. I'd be curious to see what would happen in a contest between him and the 2005 version of Deep Blue.

If an earlier version of Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov - the greatest chess player who ever lived, in the opinion of many - in his prime I suspect it would make short work of a 62 year old Fischer.

I've always wondered if his tactics of not showing up for matches against the Russian masters was just some delusional zone-out or something.

He hasn't even played the game for years. I would wager there are a number of players that could make short work of him IF they could handle his outbursts.
