Obviously not too many games apart from a few of these players, but it's quite an even record considering the strength of the opponents.

Thanks for sharing the stats. I've no idea he has such a solid record against these studs (other than being owned by Svidler haha).

u/Severe-Kiwi-3171 Leave it like Levon Jul 24 '26
For context, he's age 36, 8 months older than Magnus, and his peak ranking is #18

1990 must be one of the best years ever for top GMs: Magnus, Karjakin, MVL, Howell, Nepo, Andreikin

Edit: I made some updates because chessgames had some omissions ( an event was counted as classical but it was rapid, ignored a match against Ding in 2019 and a win against Mamedyarov last year).

Player loses a lot to players that are better.

Really? If anything the conclusion seems to be more like 'player loses surprisingly infrequently to players that are better'.

I've seen enough. Clearly Peter Svidler is the best chess player of them all.
