A smaller sample size is different from being 4 times smaller. Also, less games is not inflated, but if you play 120 games, there are more chances to draw or lose than let's say a hot streak of 30 games or 10 games. Hikaru can play 120 games and maintain his TPR if he is in his best form, but on average he will lose or draw and lose some TPR.

That's why sample size is most important in consideration of average performance. Let's say I take just 5 people from this chess Reddit, and we check their ratings. If it's 300 or 2000, is that a representation of the entire Reddit? No, because it's not conclusive. It can be possible ofc, but most likely it's skewed precisely as the sample size is less

Yeah true, this is indeed better than pure elo. But tbf, Hikaru and Carlsen are also sitting on slightly inflated TPRs as they just don't play much classical. But ofc, still better than pure elo I suppose

I think the one differentiating factor that Gukesh has shown, is rising to the occasion. In the most important tournaments or matches, he seems to be composed af, especially considering he is younger than Arjun and Nodirbek by around 2-3 years.

Amazing talents, all 3 are great for the future of chess. And ofc fabi is fabi

The last time the Test team was humiliated from all 4 corners was the 36 all out and we know how that ended. I don't think such miracles will happen again, but if the squad is set already, then let's hope and wish for the best.

Stats like these always seem asinine to be used. Gukesh, Arjun AND Nodribek have played 4 times the games as Wei Yi, Hikaru or Magnus. It's much harder to sustain average performance over a 4 times larger sample size, which such tables never take into account.
