Magnus Carlsen (born 1990) set the all-time peak FIDE rating record of 2882 in 2014 — a figure no player has come close to matching. He held the World Chess Championship title from 2013 to 2023, winning five consecutive title matches and becoming the first player ever to hold the classical, rapid, and blitz world titles simultaneously. Carlsen's style is defined by exceptional endgame technique and an uncanny ability to extract winning advantages from positions that appear completely equal, grinding opponents down across 80-move technical struggles where errors are invisible to all but the strongest engines.
