Magnus Carlsen plays a game of football between one of his games in Kolkata on Wednesday. (Source: grand chess tour) Garry Kasparov, considered one of the greatest chess players ever, once described Magnus Carlsen as a lethal combination of Bobby Fischer and Anatoly Karpov. This statement is nonsense in my opinion. There were a smaller pool of very high quality players that Kasparov and Fischer clashed with greater frequency than Magnus Carlsen did. Carlsen had never faced anybody like Korchnoi or Karpov. Endgame players of the best are just as good as modern day grandmasters. Don’t get us wrong; Carlsen is definitely a strong player, but it’s unfair to say he’s automatically better than Kasparov just because he could beat him even in his prime. If Kasparov had lived in the modern era, he might have gathered the same, if not more achievements than Carlsen. In a poetic turn, former World Champion Garry Kasparov said he has the super talent of Harry Potter, Magnus Carlsen has not only become the World Chess Champion, he has created a different Premium Magnus Carlsen arrives for the Ninth Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at the Academy Museum “I can hardly call it a world championship match," former world champion Garry Kasparov said in Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi, Karjakin and Karlsen have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they're going to know the truth when I do this book! In 1997, Deep Blue played so well that people thought it must be cheating with the help of a human. But in the most recent chess scandal, a player named Hans Niemann did so well in a match against world champion Magnus Carlsen that people said he must be cheating with the help of a computer. Maybe there were better moments where Magnus had more than 100 points than the average 2-11. Anyway I believe Kasparov had better moments (Fisher too, but Fisher was a too short spike, nowhere close to 880 rated games as #1). Kasparov--- Jan 2000 , avg 2-11 is 2728, Garry is 2851, 123 points above. (Garry was 36) Vay Nhanh Fast Money.
