Who would win between these two, the mozart of chess magnus carlsen at his peak level or the deadly games man bobby fischer at his peak level (1972 fischer)... honestly speaking who would win and why?

def bobby fisher he used his incredible IQ of 180 and amazing logic as in for carlsen he plays with a lot of memorization and ability but overall bobby fisher would win because hes such a natural and a creative phenon, i will give to bobby fisher simply because he is very creative and most of the time magnus uses memory over creativenes and ingenuity.

I doubt the game would finish. Bobby would struggle to crack the defense of Carlsen and then probably leave in a huff. Media and fide would be rushing after him while Carlsen just smiled his cheesy grin. Playing a person rated 2872 is very different to 2660.

Having all that said, Carlsen would win the match if by some chance the Bobby of 1972 met Carlsen of 2013. But that is an unfair comparison since you are comparing people from differnt eras.

It is like comparing Ben Hogan or Nicklaus to Tiger Woods...

If todays Carlsen plays against 60's or 70's Fischer, there is no doubt Carlsen will win 10/10. Simply because today's generation knows more and more theory, and the mistakes committed by the old masters are now learnt and understood and such mistakes would never be done by today's top players. Whether it is opening theory or endgame theory or the knowledge of middlegame plans, everything is more refined and near perfect for today's players.

Carlsen would mope the floor with Fisher unless Fisher is given couple of years to prepare and play in modern top tournaments plus good health. Then it becomes really hard to guess because Fisher is really tenacious. Anyway it would be a great match thats never going to happen...

Take Fischer at his prime and hand him a laptop, Chessbase, Fritz and one of the top chess engines(be it Houdini, Komodo or even Stockfish), some endtable discs and 2 or 3 years to work with it? Fischer wins in my opinion. Probably handily. Pluck him out of 1972 completely unprepared? He wouldn't do well. Though it might be closer than we think... He might not know modern theory, but he'd know old school. Probably a lot of stuff Magnus has never seen before over the board... Fischer knew a LOT about chess. Old openings found in some obscure book... Fischer could throw some curve balls at Magnus and then we'd see if he can hit that figurative curve.... Still I doubt it would be enough under those circumstances.

Carlsen. Because he has that gi-normous Neanderthal forehead. Surely there has to be extra brain matter inside that cranium, otherwise it'd just be sloshing back and forth and side to side, and that leads to head injury!
