These were not my remarks
The King's Gambit and the Grob Busted? Yes. A certain Bobby Fischer announced in the summer of 1961 exactly that the King's Gambit was busted. The article and the 1961 article are here -> http://www.chesscafe.com/text/bust.txt
As to how the grob was busted I'm tired and will post that tomorrow. Those of you newbies who have to face the grob/king's gambit can now sleep well at night.
I can just give my results to try and show that this statement is far from correct. I am not being arrogant and I accept that I rarely choose the Grob against players rated above 1600.

You have the weakest attempts at call outs.
Fischer kicked the a$$es of full blooded Soviet GMs 6-0 not newbies. If you have a problem with Fischer's claim get on your bike and look for Fischer in Iceland.

Talking seriously - Fisher is well-known with his categoric and inadequate claims so his claims itself cant be proof.
upd. Here is "proof" of his claim 😀

and he only wrote it because Spassky handed his butt to him with it...
he developed the ... d6 line of the KGA, and indeed, it is now considered by many to be best, but it is by no means a refutation...
as for he grob, white only plays it with the assumption that black doesn't know a thread of Grob theory...
grob is useless at GM level

Fischer wrote that article in a fit of pique after being BEATEN by the King's Gambit in a tournament, he never refuted anything. After it was printed, the KG did fall out of favor, strangely, even though it was written about a game he lost . He did yammer on about all the great moves he could of made, but it was just a bunch of sour grapes that did a disservice to a great opening.
I thought everybody knew about that weird article.

Spassky handed Fischer's butt too him with the king's gambit (as mentioned in previous post)
Fischer is a quack...
only admire his OTB brilliancies...
pay no mind to his outrageous off-he-board comments...
compare 99% of the stuff he says to kasparov's claim that deep blue cheated...
now, how exactly the finest chess program on earth can cheat is beyond me...

for example, the computer may not understand some of Kasparov's moves, and therefore play incorrectly (eg. a long-term sacrifice) --but a human GM would obvoiusally see through such a thing and therefore "delete" that line from the search tree.
In one of the games within the match Kasaparov was outraged when deep blue did not accept his pawn sacrifice his arguement went along the lines of "thats what fritz did" -- "thats how computers play"
