Not quite, Kasparov had a fifteen year reign, Carlsen is in year nine of his, if he doubles it than he beats out Kasparov in longevity. Beating Kasparov’s 255 months as world number one, however, would take Magnus over a decade.
Magnus Carlsen is the world No 1 but he sees no reason why a real-world Beth Harmon could not succeed him. Photograph: Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images. Even Garry KasparovPep asked Garry if he felt he could beat Magnus, Kasparov replied "I have the ability to beat him, but in practice, it is impossible" - verbatim. Then on being asked why (twice), Kasparov reiterated "impossible". The book later says that when Kasparov wouldn't give a straight answer to Pep. On further insistence, Garry's wife, Daria answeredAnyone who dominates a sport for more than a decade defines its course and in chess that responsibility automatically belongs to the world chess champion Magnus Carlsen. The former world chess champion Garry Kasparov believes he is the best of traditional and modern chess combined in one mind. He was a strong grandmaster, but not more - in contrast to Magnus Carlsen who, according to Kasparov, had the qualities of a champion. According to Kasparov, Carlsen was basically better than Karjakin in all phases of the game. In his customary outspoken way Kasparov said: "A World Champion Karjakin would have been a misunderstanding. More than a dozen players have been second. During that entire time there has only been one player ranked first. Carlsen’s current rating is 2855.2, more than 55 points ahead of second. Kasparov’s very best rating was 2856, but he couldn’t maintain that rating. Carlsen has been ~20-30 points better on average than Kasparov in his peak years. As for training time, let me provide you with a pretty incredible statistic: The greatest grandmasters, Garry Kasparov, and Magnus Carlsen process about 2 chess positions per second, which is The first world number one, in July 1971, was Bobby Fischer. In January 1976 Anatoly Karpov became the highest-rated player on the FIDE list, FIDE having dropped Fischer (whose rating was higher than Karpov's) from the list due to inactivity. In January 1984, Garry Kasparov became the third world number one. He would dominate for some 22 years Bobby Fischer. Or Magnus Carlsen or Garry Kasparov. Who would win : r/chess. Bobby Fischer. Or Magnus Carlsen or Garry Kasparov. Who would win. Will booby win as he was once know for being the best even thought he is more older, or will Garry beat both even thought his match against Magnus was a draw especially even thought magnes was only 13 .
