Carlsen is undoubtedly the most overrated WCC
Compiled by pinoy king
--*--

Magnus Carlsen is overrated by everyone because he is slouchy, autistic, ugly, and young, But he is really only a 2700 level player at best who gets lucky a lot. Sometimes he can play OK, but even at his best he is garbage. Not even a 2600 would draw 2000 players the way Carlsen does. To even put Carlsen in the same sentence as chess legends like Gary Kasparov or Bobby fischer is an unforgivable sin to Caissa.
