About Carlsen's Future

AlphaZero played the best engine in the world with a 100 game record of +28 -0 =72

At about the same time, Ding played the best humans in the world with a 100 game record of +29 -0 =71

Hopefully that puts Ding in perspective.

@sfumatosauce I agree with you that Ding played a fantastic tournament. But please be careful with the use of statistics, cause Ding has in the 100 games with no loses a winning percentense of 29 and Magnus has a 90 games streak with no loses either but with 29 wins so his performance is a 32 percentence win. What I mean is simply that even compared this way Magnus IS still better. If Ding can keep on the good play he will most likely be the challenger next time and let us all look forward to that. At least Magnus cannot rely on winning a tiebreak as easily as before this is just proven by Ding!
