@theGreatoogieBooger
Please retype your last remark ,it sounds like you did half of it while talking to yourself and the other half doesn't make sense on any level.
So you never had the passive-aggressive friend or acquaintance who said, "If I did x as much as you I'd be as good?" Might explain why it doesn't make sense. Well, he didn't and therefore I'm better so he should deal 
I don't know how many people are masters since you have the masters divided in several titles. (fide master, international, national) But here you can look for the numbers: http://ratings.fide.com/advseek.phtml
Oh I was looking for soemthing like this the other day. Thanks :)
@sportsman.....I would suggest an uneducated kid from some slum that is also a brilliant graffitti artist and has a record for shoplifting. The other problem is chess is not a sport.
Magnus Carlsen.By far the most boring,unadventurous ,tepid an unimaginative player in the history of forever.
If Carlsen could beat Peter Szekely in that department it would be rather impressive:

You can search for "titled only" on there.
It's about 15,000 names. Which I guess is like 3.5% of all rated players.
Fascinating, looked him up, he did manage to lose against Tony Miles who I used to have a schoolgirl crush on, sadly both passed away.

Wait,what ,you looked up Carlsen ,he lost to an old flame of yours ,there where short sharp words exchanged ,Carlsen showed real human emotion for the first time in his life and promptly died and the other guy died from shock or possibly a clogged vein , leaving you flameless and fascinated by the whole thing ?
I might be reading your post wrong ,perhaps there was also some sort of duel involved but it doesn't make it less weird.
Perhaps you where just hoping out loud.

I am less boring than Carlsen?

Well, I hope you feel better after getting that nonsense out of your head.
Clearly you didn't read my post properly. Then again you have a muppet for an avatar so I forgive you.
Your counter argument scores minus 50 000 points on the debate scale.
I think he accurately deduced from your OP that you are not the type of person on whom logical arguments will have any effect whatsoever. 
@ moretailon
I deduce from your comment you have no logical arguement.Carlsen's own mother called him The 'Bot for along time.He signs his name with a rubber stamp. Case closed .There is hardly room for argument of any sort on the other two facts.

You see this type of statement is why I wouldn't bother actually trying to make a logical argument. You have made up your mind and in my experience people with this kind of unwavering devotion to their own (lack of) intelligence rarely listen to reason. Cognitive dissonance look it up.
Stating facts has nothing to do with intelligence or lack there of. ' facts' look it up.
Your retreat and your own ( lack of) logic is noted.
Case closed .
I am going to open the case back up.
Oh dear fonzi!
To get out of bed in the morning, sit at a laptop and spew out that diatribe takes a brain of immense proportions. Problem is I'm not sure what it's made of
No one does...
@bilecan
Really,personal insult is your best shot? Yet another great argument by the people that claim to know better.Thanks for proving my point.

You really do take yourself awefully seriously don't you.
Well it's not like anyone else is going to.
If you don't mind spending some more time, what percentage of FIDE rated players are masters? Thanks in advance.
