#4 nope there are worse GMs. Let's search for the lowest rated GM.

Anyone could beat him in his current form. Rating doesn't matter—results do.

#6 …. Then try to beat him!

This is one of the oddest questions. If the individual has legitimately met the criteria for becoming a GM, then using the term worst, when describing them, seems incongruent; its like asking --"who is the worst best..."

Hey, you managed to reason your way to the main thrust of the question—who is the worst of the best, in your opinion?

I don't recognize the question, however, a question in the form of " who is the strongest among the elite." is worth consideration. If one were interested in ranking them according to some criteria,that would be a place to start.

yes but he's still much better than 99% of other GMs the skill difference between 2700s and 2500s is extremely large

Chess does a far better job of attempting to find who is playing the strongest, than almost any other game or sport. Certainly much better than the farcical displays we see in all the major spectator sports, especially those in the USA.

It depends on opinion and rating

Have you seen his recent performances? He's playing like a 2500 .

Overrated af.

Pretending you don't understand the question just makes you look unintelligent. You should try to productively discuss the topic rather than derail the conversation. His question is perfectly understood by everyone else here.

Gukesh only won the world championship because Ding threw the last game. If Ding wasn't going through mental health struggles, he could have probably held it down for quite a while.

#15 is starting a fight now. #15, some people don’t understand and you have to go with that and you’re not a leader anywhere here so don’t act like a boss around here. Everyone has different opinions and mindsets so everyone won’t understand everything. What you said in #14, is just an opinion and I can see that so I don’t really mind about starting a debate because debates aren’t my thing, but I do disagree, but it’s my opinion so you can’t change that.

#10, yeah people use that, even me. The worst of the Gm level means that Who is beyond last level and is not better as everyone else in that level(being GM).

#19 how is this related? And also, french isn't so agressive. Learn the Accelerated Dragon Sicilian or the Najdorf or the Hyperaccelerated Dragon Sicilian. You need to be patient, you need to memorize a lot.
