Fisler is noted for his quiet deportment. His strongest characteristic is his remarkable reticence and his unvarying imperturbability of temper. Nothing disturbs him; in fact, his great coolness, nerve and silent style of play have led to his being called the “icicle.” He stands up to his work like an automaton, as far as his movements are concerned, but when necessary he displays an intelligent appreciation of the salient points of the game he is engaged in, which gives him a degree of skill in playing the position that few equal and none surpass.
