Magnus but I will always root for Hikaru
Who's better? Magnus or Hikaru?
magnus can be on good days like twice as consistent as hikaru on his bad days. but Hikaru id say is only like 1.5x as consistent on his good days V magnus' bad days
thats why you have to compare they're good days to each others bad days. with that you get a good quantitative assesment.
I believe Magnus, he is the best player ever (right now) and Hikaru once went on a lie detector and (truthfully) said that he believed Magnus was better. Hikaru is still incredibly good, I'd still be lucky to beat once in a 1000 consecutive matches where he was blindfolded.
