"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 followi

The contradictions in the Bible are over-stated and the simplicity of the Quran is a major weakness given how distasteful its ideas are. The fact that there is nothing to "contradict" the command to kill the infidels.... is not a
