Hikaru is probably better than Magnus on chess.com or just in general in blitz online. Hikaru trains a lot in blitz on cheese.com and that's the reason why he has 3021, Magnus usually trains to play games in tournaments etc, so he is better in long games in serious tournaments, I Dom't think you can compare this two players, but officially Magnus Carlsen is stronger and has a better ranking than Hikaru in real life, playing on chess.com and in real life are completely different things

 

lol i dont know a website called cheese.com

Hikaru is gut

Hikaru has said, himself, that Carlsen is "slightly better" than him at every phase of the game. So, slightly better at openings, slightly better at middle-games, slightly better at endgames ...

And when one's opponent is slightly better than you at everything, it's really quite difficult to beat them.

Magnus is a multiple times world champion and still is number 1 after almost a decade on top.. There's no debate in who's better

Well, if there is one single thing Nakamura is better at than Carlsen, it is playing against Anand. Nakamura has an incredible 8-1 score in wins against Anand in classical, while Carlsen has 12-8.

Just to be clear, their head-to-head score in classical in 2016 after Bilbao Masters was 12-1 in favor of Carlsen. Since then, Magnus has only won 2 decisive games against Hikaru, so the unevenness has since subsided

I don't think magnus is the best player because I have been using his app and he did not even told how to play the game correctly

He dont want to share his secrets, he is afraid if someone can beat him by his teachings

Yes. Hikaru has better fashion sense.

Hikaru's Blitz rating is 3021, while Magnus's  Blitz rating is only 2992. Also, Hikaru has played thousands and thousands of games in both Blitz and Bullet, which proves his rating is accurate, while Magnus has only played like 70 blitz games and 22 bullet games.

if that's the case, then why doesn't naka have a higher USCF and FIDE rating. Besides, magnus has 19 wins over naka, idk how many draws, and only 1 loss. At least that's what I've heard
