Not even close. Magnus Carlsen has won 5 world Chess championships and multiple world rapid and blitz championships, while hikaru doesn't have one world Chess championship. Also, throughout their online and classical records, magnus consistently outperforms hikaru.

Simon Williams @Ginger_GM is way better than them, because he is actually fun and funny. Rare in chess.

Why don't you start it off, since you made the topic?
There must be at least 20 threads almost exactly the same in the last week.

Nobody gives a single reason for their opinions.
You could be the first.
what? my forum showed up lol, i gave a real reason-
No debate. How many world titles has Hikaru won? He might be a better youtuber. As it's still close and can defeat Magnus not once or twice. But...why so stupid topics? There should be an age restriction for posting a topic, 16+ or something
But I’m the best at every time control
