Except Aronian.

Aronians records. Vishy Anand +7 -3 =18. Fabiano Caruana +4 -1 =2  Alexander Grischuck +6 -2 =19 Antoly Karpov +1 -0 =1 Sergy Karjakin +7 -3 =14 Hikaru Nakamura +8 -4 =7 Magnus Carlsen +4 -8 =25. Those are hardly bad scores. Plus scores against two previous world champions and the world #2 andthe world #4. You are being a terrible troll and blinding yourself to the genius of Aronians chess games. I'm not wasting any more time here, i've had enough of this forum.

Shakhriyar Mamedyarov7/14(+3 -3 =8)

Vladimir Kramnik7/14(+3 -3 =8)

Dmitry Andreikin7/14(+2 -2 =10)

Peter Svidler6.5/14(+3 -4 =7)

Tied for second fucking last.

Armenia is playing Norway in round 5? Poor Aronian is not gonna get any sleep knowing that he has to face Carlsen tommorow. He's gonna go straight for the draw playing white to avoid any more embarassment.

Ranked #2 somehow but no one even pays attention to him. Did he cheat his rating or something? The real current #2 is Fabiano Caruana.

He's a tricky player, but a 2800 ELO trickster :)

Caruana tied for first, no? You seem to have omitted his stats.

Caruana wasn't in the candidates 2014, which he should've been in.

If the only player in the world who gives Aronian any trouble is Carlsen, I'd say he's doing pretty well. Best part is, he doesn't lose many rating points when he loses to Magnus.

I bet after Aronian losing to Carlsen tommorow, he will become depressed and start losing to 2500/2600s like Kramnik. I wont be surprised if he almost drops out of the top 10.

2500s are good, better than 1500s

If everyone became depressed after losing to Carlsen, well, I feel for Caruana.

Everyone for at least at one point has been labeled overrated . There always need to be a base standard to compare against, over-rated in what sense? Maybe all the contenders are overrated, Carlson runs the show. If by show casing his talent and tenacity he is over rated thus capturing peoples admiration the sure, overrated.

So this thread is a Cult of the Celebrity, with an OP that joined about a week ago, and a nasty bee in her bonnet for Aronian.  Great Job ??

Just like the stock market, the ratings of the Super GMs will fluctuate.

Why this leads people to such luxurious narratives is anyone's guess.  Yawn.

Doesn't like Hou Yifan much either. Could be the glasses.

When two FIDE masters ( FM. nobodyreally and FM MarkoMakaj) disagree with you, maybe you should consider that you don't know what are you talking about. You are not qualify to know who is number two. You don't know how hard it is to become a FIDE master or even a GM; GM Aronian deserve his place to be the second strongest player.
