Link: When Vishy met Bobby


The following conversation is quoted from the above Http URL. Vishy Anand is answering an interviewer about the time Anand met with Bobby Fischer.

Of interest is the disagreement where Anand tells Fischer that Fischer should stop questioning the evaluation number of the chess engine, when assessing an opening variation. (I added the boldings.)

This comment by Anand contradicts posts too numerous to count which generally say - "I get tired of weak woodpushers putting so much faith into the Fritz eval.".

A: Yes, I showed him some of my games from Wijk aan Zee and tried to share some interesting developments. He was sort of able to follow everything – he hadn't lost his sharpness for chess – but his methods were a bit dated. In that sense he had fallen behind. 

Q: How do you mean? 

A: Well, he had some suggestions, and he was sort of in the ball park … but when I would tell him that the computer says white is winning here, for me that was a sign to move on – but for him it was a starting point to argue with me! [Laughs]. I found it difficult to say to him 'No, no, no – these computers are really strong. You shouldn't be arguing with them!"'
