Fischer: Capa had a light touch!

I just found an interesting video on youtube,

 It is a little known Fischer interview from his late days in Iceland. He speaks about chessplayers of the past and I think it is safe to say he considers Capablanca to be the best player. He also considers Morphy, Steinitz and Alekhine to be great players but Capa had a light touch!

 I have read a similar Smyslov statement about the greatest player of all time.

     Well I linked the video for the chess part of the interview, Fischer's views on some matters are known and in any of his late interviews he keeps repeating them. The commentary on this video shows that that the author of the video agrees with him, not that I, merely linking the video, agree with him.

     However I think his chess views aren't biased so it is probably worth focussing on the chess part of his interview. After all, Fischer star shines because of his chess, not because of the rest.

    At the end of the video, around 8:30, it calls upon us to look up why "Bobby is right about the jews and america" .

    The part about the masters is interesting, I read a transcript of it somewhere else.
