Then Magnus what?  Won the tournament anyway?

In general, I agree with the OP, except that instead of "stronger"' it should read "weaker."

Well, you're wrong.  But a legitimate gripe is the tie breaks instead of some kind of play off to decide the winner.

You must remember that Kramnik has much more experience than Carlsen. By comparison Carlsen is far stronger. Carlsen nearly beat Kasparov when he was 10!!! Many people say that Carlsen has not reached his full potential yet so, what does that tell you?

 Yes, Kramnik is much better than Carlsen. Boy was increadibly lucky this time.

Suvel

for this tournament, yea

Carlsen is the better player in my opinion. It is unfortunate to see Carlsen get nothing, in his two games, against Kramnik.

Suvel

yea same, and he only 22

In this tournament, when Kramnik had white he nearly won. When Carlsen had white, the draw was fairly comfortable for Kramnik.

The tournament format clearly favored Carlsen before the first move was made. 

I would have loved to see a 10 game match between those two for the right to play Anand. There would be no doubt of who was better qualified after such a match.

I know!  A bottom seed's first major tournament victory.  No one could have guessed it.  I guess after Anand wipes the floor with him we'll get a real challenger a few years from now.

Suvel

yea true

Suvel

yea, but he had a lot more losses

This poster should learn to play chess first before trying to ponder who's better than who. I mean, this is the same beginner that claims a 2300 player (Emory Tate) is really better than Carlsen and Kasparov, we just don't know it yet. Even when presented with tons of evidence showing otherwise,

he still spouts 50 IQ level mumbo jumbo based on nothing more than feelings and misguided assumptions.

Suvel

emory tate? no way

Kramnik is a great player but the results and ratings show clearly that in general Carlsen is the stronger player. I was also impressed with svidler's result this tournament, I thought he outperformed his and others expectations.

Who is emory tate? Lmao
