Page "Paul Morphy" Paragraph 37

Former World Champion Bobby Fischer, noting that " Morphy and Capablanca had enormous talent ", stated further that Morphy had the talent to beat any player of any era if " given time to study modern theory and ideas ".

Some commentators disagree, including American GM Reuben Fine, who wrote that " if we examine Morphy's record and games critically, we cannot justify such extravaganza ", and British GM Raymond Keene.
