Magnus overtakes Kasparov with 2-3 years more of being on top, but Garry still has it for now

Magnus would have done it had he not gone emo mode

Magnus dominated in the computer era bud. Highest rating ever aswell. Prime Magnus was more dominant than prime Kasparov. Kasparov had Karpov, whilst nobody was that close to Magnus.

Jenium

Agreed. Alone the fact that he won the Blitz and Rapid world cup twice in a row in a swiss system, which usually is extremely unpredictable, shows how much stronger Magnus is compared to the field.

Ratings are inflated now in the 70s nobody sniffed 2800

Kasparov owned karpov once he started winning

Like i said magnus' biggest enemy is himself if he had put in the work for a couple more cycles to secure some record-breaking domination i would concede

Karpov is #6 while the two best players in the Magnus era are #9 and somewhere around #15(Caruana)

Nah, all the matches were super close. The total score over the course of all 129 championship games between Kasparov and Karpov is only +2. In 1987 Kasparov barely managed to draw the match in the last game and remain the champ due to draw odds (a privilege Magnus never had).

Ah yes, Boris Spassky, my favorite modern player
