World still trying to peg Fischer — Bobby Fischer is a phenomenon whom we see through a glass darkly.

After losing the first of the so-called simuls against a strong club team from Germany in 1985, Kasparov won every other one he played. Between 1987, when he won a return match against the Germans, and 2001, when he beat ...
