With his victory at the Zagreb GCT (Croatia), Magnus Carlsen has won his 8th chess tournament in a row. When the official ratings are posted in August, Carlsen will be rated 2882, equaling the highest rating ever achieved. How high can he go?

Carlsen is rolling
I hate living in a world that doesn't harness his sperm.

>Yea Forums
No. During the last world chess championship, the mods decided that Chess threads were proper Yea Forums threads.
who will be his successor?
for me its Alireza
Ill never forgive wrasslin shit for destroying all the comfy slow threads on Yea Forums especially the drum corps/marching arts general
I need to check out some of his games. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm sorry to hear about the drum corps/marching arts threads getting swamped. Maybe one day they will rise again and comfiness shall prevail.
Will we get to see a 2900+ rating in our lifetime?
absolute chad, he seems like a cool guy too
Fabiano, pretty obviously. His play is more computational and less intuitive/surprising than Carlsen, so maybe someone clever will eventually find an exploit, but atm, he is the successor
Based and redpilled
>WOMEN HATE ME
what did he mean really?
guy makes chess look cool... the kinda guy who put his rook in the queens after an easy match
The bigger question is who gives a fuck?
does he have the Habsburg problem with his Jew/teeth? he aint ugly though
He's been on a roll since he won the World Draw Championship vs the virgin Caruana.

Hold on. I thought he had broken the highest rating record at some point, and has been #1 ever since. How can he equal the highest rating ever?
he's based
he will equal his own rating from back in 2014
Boring chessbot man
Was getting crushed during the tiebreaks part of his plan?
bit controversial at home now, he basically tried to coup a vote in norwegian chess federation so they would sign a deal with a betting company, but he and his people lost.
uh? based
