I was listening to the interview after the game, I think Carlsen's old peak rating was 2882 and in this tournament, he reachest 2881.7 which is rounded up to 2882

[@pierQRzt180]

that is the peak monthly rating (computed the 1st of the month). The live rating is computed after each game but it is less meaningful as it is super temporary.

[@Impulsbombe]

I think his highest live rating was 2887.

[@pierQRzt180]

the highest rating live was 2889, but that is volatile, 2882 was the highest monthly rating.

I don't know about having a Super Grandmaster title, but there definitely should be a World Champion title. If a governor becomes president, you don't continue to call him governor. You give them the respect they earned by referring to them as President. So continuing to clump world champions in the same category as run of the mill GMs doesn't give them the respect they deserve. I mean really, it irks me when I'm reading a chess magazine or something and it says GM Gary Kasparov or GM Magnus Carlsen. They're not just a GM. They've earned a title higher then that. It should be WC Gary Kasparov and WC Magnus Carlsen (and others).
