Guys, even though I know that Magnus is the best chess player, but Hikaru was only a slight different from Magnus's ELO. So what do you think guys

Magnus Carlsen is generally considered to be the stronger chess player compared to Hikaru Nakamura. Carlsen has been the World Chess Champion since 2013 and is renowned for his deep understanding of the game, exceptional strategic skills, and ability to consistently perform at a very high level. Hikaru Nakamura, on the other hand, is also a highly skilled grandmaster and has been among the world's top players for many years, known particularly for his speed chess abilities and online presence. However, in direct comparison based on classical chess and overall achievements, Magnus Carlsen is typically regarded as the superior player.

Kasparov was more dominant in his era than Magnus in his, and his era was almost twice as long.

You can argue that Magnus is better anyway, but "obviously" is not a strong argument.

Honestly Magnus Is The Greatest Chess Player Of All Time. Cus Look At His Games and look at Garry's hikaru and Fabiano games Magnus is super good but hikaru is a insane player aswell.

Both have played and beaten each other many times, and each have their own strengths. Hikaru is better on the clock and defensive strategies. Magnus is better with middlegames and endgames. I think Hikaru is better soley because i watch him and not Magnus.
