But for the elite players at the strong level have mastered this game and are winning in 1 min online. Though to truly play a good game in these extreme time pressures you have to be tremeodous at the game. Now our main classification of the best player in the world is one of 2 things the current world champion or the World.1. Now being the world champion is a very high elite accomplishment in the world of chess it is not the title that defines if a player is a legend therefore the best. At first thought whenever you guys read this blog and saw this question a few players game in mind some old some young perhaps Bobby Fisher, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, and the current greatest of all time Magnus Carslan. Now I think we can agree that elo is no longer a good way to quantify the best player of the world as saying let us compare Garry Kasparov to Gukesh. Of course Gukesh would have a good chance of taking over Garry Kasparov's peak as today there are so much more technolagy then existed when these people were in there peak over 40 years ago.
