Carlsen is only 10.8 points away to break the ELO 2900
barrier as the first chess player in history. (The top performing computer
chess engines are well above the 3000 mark but that’s a different story and the
numbers are skewed and don’t allow a direct comparison).
In order to achieve the feat of a 2900+ rating, Carlsen
would have to gather 8.5 points out of 10 at the Shamkir 2014 tournament (see the Article Carlsen also beats Nakamura in Shamkir).
An other way to put it is that Carlsen has to defeat the three highest ranked
players after him, which would put him at the 2900 mark. Not an easy task but certainly possible as Carlsen
seems unstoppable at the moment.
What are your thoughts: Do you think he will become the
first player to breach the 2900 mark? Or will someone stop his meteoric rise in
the last moment?
But due to the inflation of ELO ratings, it certainly won’t
stop the debate of who the greatest player of all time is and this discussion
will surely continue…
Happy Chess,
Guenther
