Who will overtake Carlsen to become the #1 rated player in the world in 2017?

It's going to look funny seeing Magnus pushed down to #2, with somebody standing on his head.

I think I'm confident to say that no one will do it. No one can top up with him, imagine 'overtake'.

2   Caruana   2827.0 0.0   2752.0   2800.0   24
3   Kramnik   2811.0 0.0   2798.0   2744.0   41
4   So   2808.0 0.0   2759.0   2791.0   23

Std, Rapid and Blitz. See the difference in rapid and blitz by him compared to anyone else?

all great things must come to an end!

unless MC goes Fischer crazy and refuses to play his long life-- someday a talented young guy will sweep into the top ten and utterly outplay the aged carlsen.

 

or some young has ALREADY made it to the 10 but needs more time to hit his peak.

 

doesn't matter.  dead people can't play chess.  

 

admit it. y'all going to miss him.

Caruana is only 13 points behind Carlsen right now.  One good result while Carlsen is idle and he could take the #1 spot.

Caruana seems to have a lot of gas in his tank, so it's not hard to see him overtaking Carlsen in the near future.

I can t help it but I don t like Carlsen at all..he has bad promotion and needs a new PR man...
