Even the current chess king, Magnus Carlsen, considers him to be the chess GOAT. With a rating The upcoming World Chess Championship in Kazakhstan will proceed without Magnus Carlsen, who decided to voluntarily relinquish his title after 10 years. The absence of the world's number one player has raised concerns that the championship has now lost some of its legitimacy. Former world champion Garry Kasparov described the upcoming match between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren as less GM Magnus Carlsen won four games in the match and drew seven for a final match score of 7.5-3.5. GM Ian Nepomniachtchi played very strong chess in the first five games, which were all drawn. The sixth game of the match was the turning point—Carlsen won a historic 136-move game (the longest game in world championship history). After the aborted first match, Kasparov won in 1985 and then a rematch in 1986. In 1987, he narrowly saved his title by drawing the match, winning "to order" in the very last game. Finally, he had a short break, but in 1990 Karpov was back, and Kasparov again won by a narrow margin, 12.5 to 11.5.

I personally think Magnus will win because I think he is number one and Garry is number two. I think so because Magnus has more skill even though Garry had more years to learn chess. Also Magnus is known for many chess swindles and is very strong. Lastly, if you Magnus Carlsen's decade of dominance. Carlsen won a total of 10 top-level tournaments, the most ever by a single player in a single season. Russian chess great Garry Kasparov's record of 388V1.
