Is Magnus Carlsen getting worse at chess?

Someone tell me if Magnus Carlsen is getting worse and if so, who would be the next world champ?

Nope, he is just getting fun out of chess

Finally after being on top so much, give him a break

Nepo is actually best contender to Magnus, but he is Slav, he cant do it right way, he is doing Nepo way. Nepo as we Slavs says, you beat me once shame on me, you beat me twice, shame on me, third time, I will stop being the Slav, and becoming Nepo

And all you of you haters for Slavs, its just Nepo, worming up. Chinese people your calculation can handle Slav emotions No worry, Nepo is ready for next round

You know I how know, its just Slavs, its just another round, nothing more.

Google translate gone wrong, probably.

He seems to be showing the odd crack, but he’s still by far the best in the world. I imagine it’s boring at the top, which is why he’s not studying as hard as he had in the past.

Yes cuz he is aging

He admitted that he didn't wish to go through the long grind of preparing for a world championship match. He is relaxing and enjoying life (and chess) more. As with anything else, cutting back of practice and study will negatively affect one's proficiency. He's studied and practiced the game for so long at such a high level that his "falling off" is minimal.

Renowned cellist Pablo Casals explained it: "If I don't practice one day, I notice it the next day. If I don't practice for two days, fellow musicians will notice. If I go three days, the audience may notice, and after four days even the critics can tell the difference."

He is 33. If he was a football player, he'd be nearing the end of his carreer, but as a chess player, he may have ten good years left. (Anand shouting from the back of the room: "Or twenty!")

He probably wants to remain Number One for 7-8 more years to beat Kasparov's record. Can he do it? Maybe, we will have to wait and see.
