Magnus is disgraceful

@ytermayor It's an opinion, entire subjective. There is no way to truly tell who is "right" or "wrong" when it comes to the skill level of past world champions.

@ytermayor That's his opinion. He is not disgraceful just because he disagrees with you.

I'm curious why you could characterize it as "disgraceful," which suggests shameful, dishonorable conduct. It's such an oddly aggressive choice.

His opinion isn't entirely subjective. There is surely some element of objectivity. Consider that Fischer is universally regarded as a great player. Is there anyone who thinks he was the worst player in history? Even a bad player? Unlikely, if they know who he is. So, there is some agreement which certainly suggests that it is more than purely subjective.

But then, "oddly aggressive" is itself rather odd.

Calling him "disgraceful" over that is really odd. He just expressed his opinion, while lso is far more qualified than any of us in this thread in this regard.

Also, since FIDE elo ratings seems to have suffered deflation (which is funny, since the popular voice is on inflation instead), I don't think is crazy to give Judit and Bobby the same score, considering they have similar peak ratings.

Why is he disgraceful, do you know what that even means?
So he is disgraceful because he disagreed with you
