Hi, How can the elo for players be so much lower in 1972 than in 2023? Is the answer because the top-players at the time play less vs eachother? Or because there were less top-chess players at the time?

That's why he's in the goat debate. Second place in the world was nowhere near him at his peak. Who knows how long he could have dominated for. Never had the mentality required to consistently dominate for a decade + like Magnus or Kasparov. There is no genius who doesn't have a touch of madness.
Fischer *might* tested years ago, his score is inflated and due to scoring system changes over the years, it's still really high but it's not 185 today. 185 isn't even a quantifiable IQ score which is why most reputable test only go up to 160. It's not even known whether or not he even tested, just because some journalist wrote an article and gave an arbitrary number doesn't mean it's verifiably true.
A lot of people use arguments to suggest the gap between Fisher and his competition and Kasparov and his competition make them better than Magnus. And while the delta IS numerically higher, I think the SKILL gap between Magnus and his competition is MUCH more impressive. Those Legends were way above the competition in a time where computers weren't involved. Now every GM has the same access to the same engines, yet Magnus is still above the rest. I think Magnus is near the limit for what a human brain can achieve.
@@MihajloNasticIn terms of raw memorization, cognitive thinking and reasoning skills, Magnus is definitely above average. You can see him immediately recognize positions from games without being able to see the pieces, immediately spot complicated patterns and ideas, and even outside of chess, he memorized (correct me if I'm wrong) all of the 200+ Norwegian flags by the age of 5. Sure, I'm not claiming he's the epitome of the species, but Magnus' memory, pattern recognition and cognitive abilities are definitely on the higher end of the human scale. This is demonstrated resoundingly by his achievements in the game of chess, but also even outside of chess.
One problem in your argument is that Kasparov also dominated during time that *computers were very much involved*. Chessbase was released in 1985. and by 1995 it was used pretty widely, and towards the end of the 90s, all professional players prepared heavily with database and engines. So Kasparov dominated in both pre-computers and in computers era. Another issue is that dominating with computers isn't necessarily harder than dominating without them. Being a rich chess player (which is very rare), Magnus has more access to super computers, and can pay GMs to do the endless work for him, of finding new ideas in various openings. So that gives him an advantage over other top chess players (not to take anything away from his menacing natural talent of course)
As long as magnus stays motivated, he will be unstoppable until the day he decides to retire, not when his chess ability fails him. This is what will make Magnus the GOAT.
Because the margins were bigger. What Magnus did is more impressive because the margins are smaller. He was and is way more dominant than Bobby fischer ever was; and to understand this you or someone else needs to give this deep though to really understand it. Needless to say, magnus has his predecessors to thank for. They developed the sport and Magnus absorbed the knowledge from known chess masters and with the help of computers.... just way way way better than anyone else. Magnus truly is the goat.

We all know Magnus is the GOAT, but this graph puts into perspective how incredible Aronian was (and even Kramnik, before he started screaming at fire hydrants). Aronian was 2825 or so for really long, way ahead of the competition. 2016-18 was also a very exciting time for the chess world, because the gap between the world champion and the rest was not so clear. There were many 2800s, like Caruana, So and Ding.

Carlsen and Karparov are the best chess players!
one day it wont be me
this would be a lot more meaningful in the ranking bar (y-axis) stayed constant.
Due to rating inflation and deflation I think it would be rather misleading If it stayed constant
@@colin7917 Agree, back then a player in the 2500 was one of the best in the world. Nowadays not so much
Ole grandmaster Sanchez is the best in the business! I will put your rook in jail😂
Where can i get the data set for the above data ?
Did Radjabov and Mamedyarov retire this year? What is this?
im sorry but fischer humbled everyone he is the goat
Morphy let's go
But too short
Was fischer's elo unmatched for 12 whole years? thats mad
The way the graph remained flat in 2020 cuz of the pandemic
This was an amazing video, thanks
Please don't change Y axis next time
Can anyone tell background music name plssssss
Carlsen is so close to beat kasparov ! Wow
Sergey Karjakin after 2022 --------------------------
Nice graph
Don't forget to make one for bots, I see Clover dominating your platform rather than the legendary Stockfish
Levy: IS MAGNUS' ERA OVER?!
Magnus: Damn it. Why do these kids play so well against my goofy opening?
also Magnus after playing an actual opening and his opponent has the first 20 moves memorized
This just shows how strong Carlsen is 💀
Fabi-ano Caruana
This is cool, but why is it at like 15fps?
Tantalisingly close to 2900 😢
Jan Timman, the best of the West! 👍
Magnus 2800+ since 2010
Gréât but that would be nice info to state who is world champion over the years.
Thanks
