19-4 against a very, VERY strong online-blitz player. Even when "wonderfultime" was an IM he would place high in Titled Tuesday's all the time. Glad he became a GM and is currently at his highest FIDE rating. Hope he gets even better, very decent guy too.
He gained a whole 9 points. Crazy tough at that level. That's where hikaru says he now farms players, yeah he wipes out 2950 but even those compared to 3170 is another league... Magnus is just in his own class when he wants to try.
Kasparov may be considered the GOAT to many many players still and Magnus to others, and that's understandable. Him and Magnus are the GOAT in my opinion, it's close. They're both super incredible in terms of what they have done in their careers, and in my opinion blow everyone else out of the water, including Fischer. Fischer didn't do enough, and it's hard to compare the really old players compared to guys today. That said the current world number 1 always plays better chess than the generation before that. So in my opinion Magnus plays the best chess of all time in terms of quality of moves, but that's to be expected.
