    It really cannot be underststed just how insanely talented Carlsen is. Throughout all of chess history, players have come, exceeling in the game overall but being particularily strong in one aspect of the game while having a weakness in another. Carlsen literally has NO weakness. He can go full theory and make top engine moves with ease. He can put himself in a bad position on purpose and come out on top. He can play FOR HOURS and not tire, just mentally draining his opponents. It doesn’t matter if anyone knows a good gambit or tries to suprise him with a tactic. Either he’ll already know about it and most likely be betyer at it or he’ll calculate even further. He excels at middlegame but his absolute best is in the endgame. He can just continue forever. Playing Magnus carlsen is about cstching him on a bad day or playing top level engine moves all the time in order to get an edge. If anyone could ever be considered an equal it would be Kasparov. I do wonder how a younger Kasparov growing up in the modern era would be able to accomplish…

    Chess is the ultimate cerebral competition. Therefor, the following rankings since world chess championships have been held (1886) are based upon competition. 1- Alekhine; 2- Capablanca; 3- Lasker; 4- Fischer; 5- Carlson; 6- Anand; 7- Kasparov; 8- Karpov; 9- Steinitz; 10- Botvinnik.

However, this info is also available to his opponents, and the competition is much harder today. Basically, Magnus is the GOAT. He is better than Kasparov!
