YT Suc Nakamura is #19 in classic and doesn't even reach 2750 of ELO. He is not a tier 1 classic player on par with Carlsen, Caruana, Nepo, Liren, etc. He also didn't quality for the candidates tournament. So yep, he is decent for Mangus' standard (and a God compared to 99,99% of chess players). Magnus is just on a whole new level to Nakamura in classic, he is ranked over 100 ELO points over him.

So now the masses are hit from both sides of entertainment and now everyone is noticing chess
