WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT THESE TWO ? .................WHO IS THE BEST IN YOUR OPINION

Has peak rating of 2882 is the highest in history. He also holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak at an elite level in classical chess at 125 games. has held the No. 1 position in the FIDE world chess rankings since 1 July 2011. And the other is a five-time U.S. Chess Champion, and the reigning World Fischer Random Chess Champion. Their résumés speak for themselves.

i copied most of this from Wikipedia

most of the time ,ME TOO

Overall and classical: Magnus

Rapid chess: Magnus

Blitz: Many different formats. Online based Hikarus performance is not matched, otb clearly Magnus.

Bullet: Hikaru

As a person, I think Nakamura is more intelligent but as it's a chess forum. Carlsen is stronger in chess

Idk

Now nobody can tell you're wrong for sure but I would like to know how did you evaluate that Hikaru is more intelligent of the two. For me personally, both of them seem more like chess geniuses specifically, not extremely intelligent in general. Just based on the limited stuff thats available like their interviews and opinions etc.

https://youtu.be/nQuESuzkhFw?list=PLAwlxGCJB4NfavG6vXxp_aaVZm0Y0KW41 around 54m35 Hikaru gives some answers by saying that he does not consider himself to be the best chess player.

In round 2 Magnus drew against Hikaru in long time then won the armagedon with White.

Magnus might even be stronger in bullet, too ... which is crazy to think (that he dominates in all time controls).

Looking at their Chess.com head-to-head bullet score to date:

Hikaru: 25 wins

Magnus: 35 wins

Draws: 21
