ELO becomes gradually inflated over time, so I’m not sure how well you can compare ELO across decades

We don't know what the limit of human ability is as it relates to chess. The best computers are almost 1000 Elo points stronger than the best humans, so we know it is theoretically possible to achieve. As we approach what we think is the limit, someone comes along and smashes the ceiling. That's exactly what happened with Fischer, Kasparov. When Kasparov retired, there was a 5 year period where there was no clear leader. Anand was warming the seat, but we all knew he was like a schoolboy next to Kasparov, until Carlsen came and blew everyone out of the water. We are in the Carlen Era now. Who knows what the next decade will look like.



Stolen from reddit. I actually think it may just be Carlsen.

Magnus thinks Fischer was the best at his peak. I think I agree with this.
