Even Caruana has plateaued a bit the last few years, whereas Carlsen just keeps getting stronger. At Caruana's age, Carlsen's ELO was well into the 2800s. Right now Carlsen's competition looks pretty bleak.
- petegrif 13y agoYes - I can't justify my instinct here. I believe there have only ever been 7 players >2800 ELO and Caruana is one of them. But of those Kasparov is retired and Anand, Topalov and probably Kramnik have probably peaked. That leaves Carlsen - out on his own - and Aronian and Caruana. Aronian has probably peaked (he is 31)which leaves Caruana. The next 2-3 years should tell us what he is capable of.
