1400136896, there are plenty of games between the two players available. 

Go to chessgames.com and search for games between Kasparov and Anand. You'll see that Kasparov dominated.

Kaspy beat Anand 16-4 in standard games (31 draws), and 26-8 in all games (43 draws). 

Kaspy trounced Anand.

 Kasparov beats Anand, Kramnik beats Kasparov, Anand beats Kramnik. It's the great trifecta.

for a change we are asked if one alive guy is better than another alive guy. so finally we have a match that moneybags chess.com can sponsor for real answers!

Kasparov, no question.

I just checked another website that showed Kasparov and Anand played 77 games head-to-head. In all games, Kasparov won 26, lost eight, and drew 43. In classical games, Kasparov won 16, lost 4 and drew 31. I think that is pretty dominant.

"There is no doubt that peak Kasparov is better than peak Anand, although not by as much as their head to head record may indicate"

I'd say the difference is quite big after all, Anand went five years in a row as World Champion without winning a single tournament he played. When Kasparov on some occasion didn't win a tournament he participated in it was big news.

I am better than Bobby Fischer. I would move 1. e4, and he couldn't answer, because he's dead.

Kasparov was better.

Anand by far

In my opinion, Kasparov is a better player than Anand.

Fischer was better than both of them including carlsen. no one would beat fischer in a series

When Kasparov was completely focused on chess, he was stronger than Anand and was considered the Number 1 chess player in the world. Today, Anand might be a little stronger than Kasparov for Kasparov has retired from Professional Chess.
