Magnus would destroy Fisher. Not only that i would take Magnus over Fisher in Consistency and tactics/calculation. But Magnus is also the FAR better Player regarding Chess Intuition.
Imo Magnus is the best ever. Followed by Kasparov and Lasker.

@chessbeginner2018 in absolute terms magnus might be better but then fischer had no access to engines so you have to consider that .
The level has risen drastically. The old masters with their past playing strength at best wouldn't make money in a top open nowadays. They were the best at their time but they would be no match today.
@hussainindia : indeed. that why i emphasized the Intuition as well. Carlsen is so great to "feel" Chess positions and take Advantage of it. I would easily take Carlsen over Fisher in an era without engines. "out of Theory" Chess -----> Always betting on Magnus
@chessbeginner2018 i agree. Magnus makes good moves in all formats of chess. i specially like watching his bullet games in titled arena. he simply destroys the field sitting on a sofa;).
@Sarg0n that's true. chess is through the roof nowadays.
