"If the following 25 players in the world where all 2800+ Carlsen would already be 2900+."
Why are you assuming that Carlsen would always win against other players if the other players are that much stronger? Maybe if the following 25 players were all 2800+ then Carlsen would take more losses.
- epolanski 4y agoBecause, as already explained elo measures relative strength not absolute one. If he's a better player he's going to beat them more often than not while not losing all the points he does now for drawing.
- jononomo 4y agoYeah, but he wouldn't be a better player than them if they were better players.
