Magnus is the best. Perhaps the best player in history recognizes both the joy and the struggles regular players face in a game they both love. I've never seen him show contempt for patzers and woodpushers. He jokes, but never at other's expense and often at himself. I don't see anyone capable of replacing him.

[@alisherkazhymukhanov5819]

@@dunhill1 magnus prime > fischers prime

[@mikem668]

@@dunhill1 I said, perhaps. And it's obviously difficult to compare different eras. Best is also not your favorite or the player you model your own game after. My favorite players are still Tal and Lasker. With age I've grown to appreciate Capablanca, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Petrosian and even Karpov more. And Kramnik. I lived through both the Fischer glory years and Kasparov's epic fights with both Karpov and Deep Blue. Fischer probably had the greatest period of dominance we'll ever see and while he didn't do it completely alone, he didn't get the opening prep of the great Soviet players against Spassky. And he was right, the Soviets rigged draws. Fischer, Kasparov, and Magnus all have an indomitable will. All seem a little off. As if their minds work differently and were built for chess, but each in a unique way. * What makes Magnus special is the way he sees the game. Fischer saw it in terms of truth and best by test. Kasparov in terms of dynamics, yet always in terms of accuracy. Magnus seems to be flexible, non-dogmatic. He will play second best moves, play endgames forever, he plays way more openings than Fischer, and probably Kasparov. Yet, you can't completely separate his play from engines and databases. I think he had his style before engines, but today's chess is very different. What I like about Magnus is his humanity. Fischer and Kasparov were driven. Magnus seems more relaxed. Chess is important, but it isn't everything. And he makes chess fun. In the old days, the great players were lawyers, philosophers, diplomats, engineers, opera singers and concert pianists. I've seen too many chess players with psychological issues.

Not to mention his Elo nowadays which is the highest off all time. Morphy is the only player that I believe could rank up with Magnus given his era of play and his lack of effort in chess yet he was an Amazing player.
