Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov, together or separately, did not win any Lichess Titled Arena.
"I think also the next dominant player may be more like Carl Schlecter, aiming for draws and grabbing wins when the opponent overreaches.“
@AlphaZeroDark30 A run-of-the-mill approach. I rest my case."
Well, Schlecter was leading Lasker in a world title match until the last game when it's rumored he threw the game due to lack of funding for a rematch. This approach seems logical now that chess is a forced draw, but not at the 2900 level, more like at the 3900 level or whatever the max is (maybe 10000?). Carlsen is definitely better than his rivals today, but there's a bit gap into which a player can jump (3200+). Just a matter of who reverse-engineers the machines the best.

Finegold could beat Carlsen any day of the week. The only player better than both of them is Maurice Ashley

Here is Maurice shaming Carlsen for being unable to win smooth games. Maurice wins every game smoothly

Wasn't sure about the trolling until that statement.

Magnus is a great player and probably deserves to be in the conversation as the GOAT, but I would have a hard time coming up with a reason why he is better than Fischer or Kasparov. I also think Morphy, Capa and Alekhine are at least as talented and better in a relative sense. Magnus is still young though. I'm just going to wait and see.
Most investigations show that there are less mistakes made overall nowadays. This applies to MC of course. Evidence enough besides uncountable tournament wins, highest rating, sitting on numerous Wch titles?
MC haters are like those creationists who invent ludicrous explanations for pretty clear stuff.

I know more science than Newton and Einstein did. Does that make me a better scientist?
By "ludicrous" do you mean passing off a 900-point rating inferiority to the top engines as "mistake-free chess?"
There will one day be a human player who no computer can defeat. It is a matter of time.

Yeah, and one day there will be a human who runs so fast that no car will overtake him.
No further questions, I rest my case.
