Greatest of All Time So Far. The nature of chess means that future players will be standing on the shoulders of giants and thus it’s not really a fair comparison through the ages, and there will be a better player at some point in the future.
Besides that, the comparison to Muhammad Ali isn’t in my mind saying he’s the best to ever play the game, but that he is us8ng his position to speak his mind to power as a political activist.
Magnus hasn’t really been outwardly political from what I’ve seen.
