Magnus 2800 streak
I was just looking at his progression chart and realize that he crossed 2800 in 2009 at age 18 and then literally never dropped below it since??
I've followed chess for like 7/8 years now and I never quite realized that, I knew he'd been number 1 for so long but to gain 2800 at age 18 and then never drop it, it showcases such a difference between him and the current batch of young superGM's become some of them have barely touched the 2800 mark around ages 18-22, but none of them even hold it for a month (or a single tournament tbh). I think the current youngsters may have the potential at peak to play to Magnus's in form level, but he clearly just has such an insane level of consistency as well that I don't know we will see replicated for a very long time.
Just felt like pointing this out as I honestly can be a bit of a Magnus hater at times, I don't deny his skill but I think he's a bit whiny/spoilt at times, and sometimes root on his downfall (in chess only of course), but seeing this is really just crazy to me.
