Yay or nay? If not, who then?
I doubt that Magnus could have beaten the 1986 version of Garry Kasparov.

In my opinion, the greatest of the romantics: Jose Raul Capablanca.

Fischer was deeply paranoid when it came to Russian chess players and the soviet system
It took the united states secretary of state to intervene to convince fisher to continue the match
I don't think he would have been emotionally able to play another Russian
I don't think he was afraid of losing
just afraid of Russians

Lets go with both...Everyone knows that Canadians use eh after a sentence, but not every sentence. It is both annoying and funny at the same time for me as a Canadian. 😉

Highly unlikely you would call yourself 'Native' not 'old-indian'

You would not use Eh after every sentence. Your cover has been blown.
