Thought this was an "Aronian" thread!

(but you got Magnus's name in:)

Of course not.

I knew it! I KNEW IT!!  When I saw the title to this thread I just knew it had to be stuperking500. I knew it.

You have a crush on Magnus, don't you? Come on, just admit it.

I want to contribute something funny to this thread somehow but there are too few leads to work with

Ni!

I doubt it; Magnus can probably benchpress a lot more than Levon.

Avatar of MrDamonSmith

Who in the candidates seems to be the strongest? Mamedyarov? Svidler? I should mention that I mean winning a strong man competition. Also, I just wanted to highjack stuperkings thread.

No. Carlsen > Aronian and always will be. Even if Aronian does eventually compete with Carlsen in the WC, and he probably will, I think Magnus will be the Kasparov to his Karpov.

I bet Gelfand's good at arm wrestling and darts.

I knew, without looking, the username of the person who created this forum thread would be superking500.

Let me guess, if Aronian would only play "simpler".

Right?

For the first time in my life, I have pictured an iced out dunce cap and they didn't even exist until I just invented it now.

You create very inspirational threads superking500.

I just hope Aronian doesn't take the title from Carlsen; it'd mean that we'd get all these threads all over again, just with "Levon" instead of "Magnus" in the title.

But ratings are unreliable as they keep changing around after every game! That can't be an objective measure of strength, can it?

I too knew that the thread creator had to be superking500

No.

Except that Aronian has been trying or years to catch Magnus rating, and has thus far failed miserably.

Cannot be totally random.

But levon is awesome--- WHEN he's awesome.

Some days, it's like he forgets to eat his spinach.

+8−4=26 (as of nov 22)


Magnus is up on Aronian by quite a bit.

Avatar of Radical_Drift

I concur with the above, but Levon Aronian is one terrific player! 

Avatar of Ubik42

OMG Aronian still hasnt beaten Magnus. Does magnus overperform compared to his rating??

it is beginning to look like Mags is just plain unbeatable, isnt it?
