Fischer: Classical or Aggresive?

@Sarg0n I do not agree. Fischer's main strength was positional play in clear positions. In irrational positions he played a bit weaker.

An example is his French game against Larsen in the Candidates 1971.



Here he didn't find the relatively simple to calculate win 21.Bd6 Qc8 22.Bf3 Bc6 23.Qd4+ Kf7 24.Bd5+ Bxd5 25.Qxd5+ Kf6 26.g4! In his best times, Alekhine would have calculated this until mate.
"But you see when I play a game of Bobby, there is no style. Bobby played perfectly. And perfection has no style." Miguel Najdorf It's not easy to play unclear positions
Karsten Müller characterized all Wch and he regards Fischer as the practical player, sometimes missing the plot when there is not much to do. But generally no particular big weaknesses. Not searching for the absolute truth but putting maximum pressure on the opponent, that‘s the style of pragmatic players.
