I think FIDE ratings have a 95% expectancy cutoff, i.e. if MC plays a player rated 1400 he still is officially only expected to win 95% of the time, and would actually gain something like 0.5 of a rating point for winning. Hence if he wanted to perhaps he could sandbag his way to 5000 by arranging and winning some 4000-odd games against total fish
how many rating points would he lose if the unthinkable think happened and his opponent draws??
honestly, i think magnus can do it.
Magnus barely can exceed his direct peers with 100 elo points, except if his name was Magnufish then it's another debate.
He could write 5000 elo on the sidewalk and walk over it and cross 5000 elo
hillarious
