who is best? Magnus or Gukesh?
After Gukesh won the world championship, his level has completely changed. Magnus is now regaining his prime, but still losing to Hikaru in titled tuesday

No, Gukesh's level has not changed at all. It is just your illusion. He was, and still is, a very strong Super GM.
And the Titled Tuesday blitz parade isn't even an official blitz tournament- Magnus, Hikaru and a few others are in it only for the $$$.
My rankings
1. Bobby Fischer
2. Mikhail Tal
3. Capablanca
4. Paul Morphy
5. Alexander Alekhine
6. Magnus Carlsen
7. Garry Kasparov
Magnus is still head and shoulders ahead of anyone else, and I can't see that changing for another decade.
Gukesh hasn't changed lol.Winning a tournament doesn't exactly make you better.If anything,losing makes you better.
Magnus had attributes that stood out for years.He is a legend and not just a prodigy.He has been for years,and gained 1000 points in his first year of chess.
Gukesh is strong,and he came from a country that was dominating in chess.But he isn't even the best player in India.There are many contestants for this title-anand,vishy,Arjun.
so Gukesh still is trailing behind Magnus,possibly even Hikaru.
He has a long way to go
