Magnus Carlsen is still #1. He sat out the last two championships (out of boredom?), but would easily beat anyone if he decided to get back in.

That said, kudos to Gukesh for never backing down and trying to win every game. The crown is back in the country that invented the game.

Didn't Persia invent it?

Carlsen is suffering from depression, or so they say. He did lose 1 match to another Indian teen a few years ago. This teen too burned out.
