Where can I see the highest ranking players of chess.com?

Would be amazing to have a match between highest ranking chess.com and FIDE world champion(unless it is same Magnus Carlsen of course)

The world's leading players often play bullet and blitz matches here.  Where have you been?

FIDE tournaments are usually slow over the board games.

I mean to have official match between chess.com highest ranking players and FIDE highest ranking, over the board, with cameras, press, etc, not incognito,

For the most part, most of the the Chess.com highest ranking players are FIDE players. They already play OTB together.

"I really do not think you can compare FIDE ranked players to Chess.com rated players, no disrespect intended to Chess.com or any of the other online chess site I and others play on, to those starting out and still on that chess enlightenment road, FIDE players earn there titles Over the Board in Over the Board tournaments and there ratings are a measure of there level, where online sites such as Lichess, SchemingMind, Chess.com there ratings can never be compared to someone playing Over the Board and the titles they have earned, this is the ultimate test and achievement in chess."  Thats why it will be interesting to have over the board match between chess.com highest non FIDE player and FIDE highest rank. Odds are for FIDE champion winning, but it is sports, so you never know.
