He is the greatest of all time and dominating

Carlsen’s achievement is great, but one of the reasons why other players are not so strong in rapid and blitz is that the incentives are not quite there. Rapid and blitz usually pay much less and are not as promoted at the top level.

“why other players are not so strong in rapid and blitz”

this also applies to him

[Shreya Kulkarni]

Of course. All players are more incentivised to play classic format more and better. The fact that he has dominated for some time allowed him to draw more attention to other formats (and even online bullet). He’s that competitive.

[Vijay Khadake]

Sure, but what did Magnus focus on while starting his chess career?

Classical.

Once he was the reigning champion he could also take on the other formats.

What a great and intelligent young man Very interesting.

Magnus is the beneficiary of a number of different factors which combined give you Magnus Carlsen the world chess champion.
