Considering Karjakin outplayed all the challengers and then pushed Carlsen to the limit 6 months ago, you can't rule him out.Ā Watching Wesley So play Onischuk in the U.S. Championships playoffs, I was not impressed.

Well... that was 2 games. And 2 rapid games at that.

I bet I can do it in one.
Anish Giri, in my opinion. Always finding the boring move to everything, keeping a draw just about every game.

yeah he outplayed everyone but he was not a tough competition to carlsen even in tcec this year Houdini played stockfish in finals but komodo would have been a more challenging opponent that is why I Said So not karjakinš

People were talking about MVL a couple of months ago, when he had a high rating, now it's So... Names are changing in top 10, only Carlsen stays on number 1 spot. There is no worthy, stable opponent unfortunately.

yeah but we saw how hou yifan drawn with carlsen and beat caruana and nep so players over 2810 will be very hard for carlsen to manage btw yifan is not even 2700_š
IMO just like medutis88 said, there still isnt a legit threat to carlsen,not even Wesley(im a filipino btw) though karjakin did push him

yeah but who knows MVL would have performed better than karjakinš

I agree. A lot of the time there is a man of the hour - over the past year or so it has been something like MVL-Caruana-So-Mamedyarov - but they always fade before reaching the point where they can challenge Carlsen's #1 spot.

Who is going to be the man thats best fit when the Candidates tournament happens? All the contestants are close to equally strong. I think sleeping and preparations can make a difference.

Is it really that bizarre? I mean, its more unlikely that the rightful WC would win a playoff format that they used before....and also, Magnus won the candidates when he was expected to...i dont think its as highly unlikely that you make it out to be
But he is the highest rated player in the world by far
