Hi Friends,

Having witnessed briefly the rise of both Carlsen and Aronian for past 3-4 years, it is just so amazing to see how close they both are in terms of chess playing strength.  They have both so consistently finished as 1-2 with one of them almost always ending up as winner of most of the Super GM touneys.

That they both are currently 2820+ in live FIDE ratings is also a testimony to the fact that they are definitely ahead of the rest of the pack (including the likes of Anand, Kramnik etc.). Given that they both have age in their hands (C-22 and C-29),

1. Given their current playing strength, who do you think (objectively) would be the first to become the undisputed World Chess Champion between them and when?

2. Whom would you personally like (I feel they both are very similar in personality as well, soft spoken and well mannered :)) to become the first undisputed World Chess Champion between them and why?

Comments, views and opinions are welcome.

In my opinion, Aronian can become the World Champion sooner and this will happen in less than a decade from now!

Yet, I have to admit that I believe that one day, they will fight against each other fot the title of the World Champion...

Let's see!
