That is not true. I didn't say that HE said that ratings don't mean ANYTHING, he said that ratings don't mean EVERYTHING, which is true.

It's Mr. Shaibel from the queen's gambit.
According to me, it was Garry Kasparov in the olden times, but now it has to be between Hikaru or Carlsen. But it really depends on whose playing style you like the most.

He's talking about right now I think because right now Hikaru is ranked 2nd in the world but obviously there are better players Magnus, Kasparov, Fischer, Morphy, Tal, etc.
Probably Mr. Shaibel
