      I don't feel he meant it as an insult to Nepomniachtchi. My take on it was that he was saying he still has a lot of potential within him. He's showing respect (which is also clear when he casually says that he's been outplayed by him before).

      @frednimzowi9852 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KikkoAndMoonman he didn't mean as an insult, I agree, but still it is an insult. No, he didn't mean this as a potential, he just expressed the huge gap between Nepo playing well (ceiling) and Nepo playing bad (floor). I think for Magnus on the strength of a player depends just as much on his floor than on his ceiling. He was just expressing Nepo's gap between those is bigger than other players.

      @@RenasB-rv1lg There is no question of Magnus being better overall. That seems superficial to say, we all know it. The point I'm making is: Nepo has strengths that happen to be distinct from Carlsen's and in some areas he has the capacity to exceed him even over 12 games. Nepo's tactics for attacking in mid-game just come out of the blue in a way they don't for other super gms. Both Fabi and Carlsen are endgame gods. It's difficult to see how Fabi could beat Carlsen.
