Is Magnus Carlsen still best in the world?
I don't know if he is the best in the world. He's never beat me.
That's probably true. BUT, he's beaten the person who beat the person who beat the person who beat the person who beat the person who beat you. So there's that.
No Magnus Carlsen not the best Chess player in the world that would go to Ding Liren
Based on...?
The World Chess Championship
So Ding Liren became the best player in the world by beating Nepo in a rapid game? I donβt think World Champion equals best player in the world, itβs just one event with two players and often not the two best players, as this time.
The World Champion and the Best in the World are two different things and may well be different persons.
Well if you want to be the best in the world you have to show your commitment to the game and clearly Carlsen is 100% capable of defeating Ding or Nepo in the World Championship but he doesn't want to play in the WCC so in my opinion I think Ding is the worlds best Chess player as of now.

Says who? You can be the best and give the world the middle finger.
