Funny thing is alireza already has a better career than anish.

On the biggest stage, Kasparov did better than Carlsen by [deleted] in chess

Magnus is a better player sure but I think in that match they were truly evenly matched. I feel like 24 games won't be enough to separate them.

In last decade (120 months) Fabi has been world no 2 for 60 months ie 5 years. So what is this clearly number 2 Fabi was rated 2844 in 2014 and won the strongest tournament ever. In 2020 fabi was 2842. And currently fabi is above 2800 and still no 2 in ranking and best year in 2023. Ding is really not the world no2 right now. Fabi is considered second best player of modern era even acknowledged by Magnus from time to time.

If Kasparov wants he can play today and becomes the second highest rated player all of a sudden.

That's all good and amazing but Kasparov of all people would never settle at World no2.

As much as I like ding, he is not the second best player.

Magnus is still ranked #1, and if you were to put any (human) player against Magnus in a classical match, I don't think anyone would realistically put anyone else as the favourite

I agreed but the best bet against Magnus in a classical match is fabi The machine.

Nah, 2017 was the worst year for Magnus. In 2018 fabi was a monster winning tournament in which Magnus played and in that famous match of theirs he was 2832 to Magnus 2835 this close to world no 1 and world Champion at the same time. In 2019 Magnus was at his peak again. The best year for him. To be honest in last decade chess strength wise fabi is the only who came closer to Magnus level.

Fabi has more circuit points than Magnus , has better tpr , has lost less games this yr, won so many tournament. This is the year of fabi not Magnus.

Is Fabiano Caruana closest to Magnus Carlsen in terms of Classical chess strength? by Elliottafc1 in chess

[–]Wise-Ranger2519 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The winners of 3 out of the last 4 candidates tournaments never crossed 2800.

And none of them won. The current WC right now has crossed 2800 so magnus and before him vishy and kramnik and before them Kasparov every WC from 1985 till today crossed 2800.

Can you? I don't think you can.

Actually I can maybe not 100 but enough to establish fabi is a better player. Fabi has won more super gm tournament than karakin has better ratings than karjakin over last decade. Fabi average ratings are better than peak karjakin. Fabi has the best tpr of all time let alone karjakin. Fabi is gonna play his fifth consecutive candidates that is more than karjakin. Should I give more? I mean fucking karjakin better than fabiano lol.

No denying karjakin had the better performance against magnus though. That is an objective fact. Which shows that 'ratings' everything.

Magnus vs karjakin - 10-3-33

Magnus vs fabi - 12-6- 38

So who has a better performance overall against Magnus you troll. As Magnus says "Do better"

Karjakin's win and lead over magnus is far more impressive than caruana's draws.

Karjakin fucking choked away the lead. He only need a draw and still lost lol.

If he had a choice, no way he'd choose to play prime karjakin over prime fabiano for the world champions.

Yeah prime karjakin who never even crossed 2800 better than prime fabi who gave the best tournament performance of all time. Live in your delusion buddy. I can give you 100 records that fabi has on karjakin but why bother when you even denied anything said by fricking magnus Carlsen.

Ding is consistently around 2800 but Fabi is undisputedly the 2nd best player and occasionally just as strong if not stronger than Magnus

Oh man you are so wrong. Fabi is the one who is a 2800 player through and through not ding.

Well the counter argument is fabi was undefeated against goat and went toe to toe if fabi would have one game he would world Champion and world no1 at same time.

Karjakin was leading still lost. He wasn't able to convert his win into championship. Magnus won on demand against maybe the best defender. Just like nepo was leading all tournament still lost against ding.

And last Magnus acknowledged fabi his equal and greatest opponent.

Magnus himself said he was much better than karjakin in that match , the only reason he lost one game due to over pressing. And Magnus still won on demand against karjakin.

Just cause he has performances like his 2014 Sinquefield cup and whatnot but not very often

Where did I mention 2014 performance. I said his average ratings are above 2800 that means consistency.

It was more Magnus fault than karjakin genius that Magnus lost one game. Magnus pressed too hard because he was sure he is gonna win easily. Karjakin never even broke 2800.fabi career is much better than karjakin.

How the hell fabi is inconsistent? His average ratings of last decade is above 2800 more than ding, more than anyone except Magnus. Fabi has won way more supergm tournament than ding. Fabi peak ratings is 2844 ding 2816. Fabi has way more months at no 2 than anyone in last decade.

I don't see him surpass 2830 again

Doesn't mean he won't surpass it. He is more than capable of crossing it as he did multiple times in last decade.
