So lets think about it, 100 years from now, 200, and so on, how cool isnt it if we just have this 1 guy crushing everyone and just keeps going, not a genious just a guy that is really good at chess and keeps crushing everyone showing us the human potential.
I vote for Magnus Carlsen, our eternal Victor in Chess,
Second only to Jesus.
Who's with me?

The guy who is crushing everyone is Arjun on India's board 1. He has 6 wins in 6 rounds.
Carlsen's performance is good, but he isn't "crushing everyone" (2 wins and 2 draws).
Don’t know

The most important skill has been the ability to find "only-moves" in an endgame when there is very little time on the clock. So important to have time left at the end!
Arjun is the #3 board for India. His rating is now 2790 which puts him at #4 in the world rankings. In 7 games in this event he's 6.5 with a performance rating of 2935.

=D Ok famous last words;
Since Carlsen always comes up on top in the end;
Im still betting MC;
But that wasnt the point at all;
The point is ; Carlsen has been crushing this game for so long that I just want him to keep going all the way as long as he lives, Its a thought experiment I guess;
"what if... " is what i am saying; What if Carlsen just keeps crushing (as he has done to date , counting final scores only) , lets view it 100, 200 years from now and so on..
Now granted this could be any person, but lets say we pick Arjun, he doesnt have MC record at all; he might have some day, but he doesnt have it today.
But honestly I guess I dont really care; Arjun; Magnus, whoever;
I just want 1 person to keep crushing all the torunaments, I think MC is the one tho.
But history will tell =)
How interesting :thinker
