Jan-16-23 Keymer vs Carlsen, 2023 
| |

Jan-14-15 Vasyl Ivanchuk

| MoonlitKnight: Ivanchuk in his prime (and even today) could destroy anyone in a single game or even a tournament. But when it comes to consistency, Carlsen is superior by a wide margin. |

| |
| MoonlitKnight: I'm reminded of Kasparov's famous remark when it became clear that he would face Short in the 1993 world championship match: "It will be Short and it will be short." |
