Parham is literally facing Naka's stronger rival (the other being firouzja). Magnus is wrestling with Naka to get World Blitz title, and become World Blitz champ-yes, Rapid Champ, and standard champ-if I am not mistaken he is battling with Fabi for those. I could be wrong though.
ok. First, Fabi is basically co-world champ for standard. In Rapid, Magnus has a few ppl nagging at his tail, like Naka, Aronian, MVL (I think) and definitely So. Fabi is basically Magnus' equal in Standard, as shown in the 2018 World Championship

ok. First, Fabi is basically co-world champ for standard-kinda, but Magnus is slightly better so.... In Rapid, Magnus has a few ppl nagging at his tail, like Naka, Aronian, MVL (I think) and definitely So. Fabi is basically Magnus' equal in Standard, as shown in the 2018 World Championship-it is no longer 2018 though, and I would argue that if they are not equals, Magnus is better. 2882 peak to 2842, not the same. Standard- Fabi as second, Rapid-Fabi, Naka, So, MVL, Aronian, Blitz- Naka as second Bullet-Naka as second
-_- 2018 was a show of strength. his peak is 40 points lower, but Fabi is literally as strong as Magnus

look at the results of the championships they've had. They're both so close. Magnus is just so much better in rapid, so he wins the Rapid Tiebreaks

Fabi is better in opening and equal in middlegame. However, Magnus is literally and engine in endgames. No, he's better than endgames. He's won endgames SF11 rates as a draw

Engines are better than humans. Fabi is better in openings because Magnus plays stuff like the scadi and dragon (which are considered easier for white), whereas Fabi plays the Petroff which no one plays.
Magneto play openings simply for the sake of getting to the endgame. He plays openings that result in a complicated endgame, and he wins there.
magnus will do this one

If Fabi was equal to Magnus he would have no problem drawing against him in endgames every single time. But he is not. You have not addressed why Fabi is equal to Magnus, because he is not. Magnus is better, and that is why he consistently scores better against everyone. You keep bringing up the 2018 WC, but times change. If I dated the most popular school in high school, does that mean that I can do the same 5 years later in college? No because times change. Competition gets better and better, until you are left in the dust.
is Fabi in the dust yet?

@Fabi shouldn't even be playing. In 15 WC games v Carlsen he couldn't even win one?! Despite training like a d,mn machine. And he can't play fast Chess. What a bum.
Martirosyan is the best chesser besides me, he will win.
It really is though, he got to 1700 playing like that
he didn't, his rating started at 1800
