Is Magnus Carlsen still best in the world?

Not by that much and I said in "My Opinion" @hermanjohnell and @BlueHen86

”I think Ding is the worlds best Chess player as of now”

To me his results haven’t been good enough to be ranked as the best player in the world. He hasn’t been close to win a tournament the last five years (except one Chinese event with opponents in the 2500s). His by far best result in these years was when he finished 1.5 from first in the Candidates, which also was the only event where he had a plus score in five years.

You did, and I didn't quote you. I gave my opinion.

Carlsen chose not to play. Somebody had to win, doesn't mean they are better than Carlsen.
