First of all it exist a other new thread about this subject.
Second he obviously ignore Magnus Carlsen whatever it takes, i think.
Third. This guy are low rated. Typical lowrated to troll or be unserious.
I waste my time trying to convince him that Magnus Carlsen are the goat.
Why he wanted to start a new discussion? Exactly, to troll!
Kasparov was champion for 15 years, which triumphs Carlsen..

Remember, also, that Carlsen grew up in the age of computers, which greatly assisted his playing ability.

And then, of course, there is Bobby Fischer who reached a rating of 2785, before chess computers existed, and was 120 points ahead of his nearest rival. Bobby's peak might have been even greater than Kasparov and Carlsen.

Hard to say, because it's impossible to measure across generations.

2851 in 1999 and 2785 in 1972 are more impressive to me than 2882 in 2014.
