Magnus Carlsen explained his domination over younger chess GMs like D Gukesh, and revealed the reason why he is better than them.
Magnus Carlsen is regarded by many to be the greatest-ever chess player of all time. The Norwegian GM is a five-time world chess champion and also shares the current World Blitz title with Russia’s Ian Nepomniachtchi. He is also an eight-time World Blitz Champion, and has been on top of the FIDE rankings since July 1, 2011, and is only behind Garry Kasparov in time spent as the highest-rated player in chess history. Carlsen’s peak rating of 2882 is also the highest in history.
Carlsen recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and spoke on a variety of topics, ranging from the controversial Hans Niemann cheating scandal to how he prepares for matches. Although he is only 34 years old, he is part of an older generation of chess GMs, with the younger generation on the rise, led by the likes of D Gukesh, Alireza Firouzja, Arjun Erigaisi. Despite their rise, Carlsen has dominated the sport with ease and has been the best.
