Which of the 2 legends are better? I would choose magnus

Hikaru is a grand streamer but it is not comparable to the level of magnus or kasparov, in my opinion magnus

Lifetime score in classical: The Magster 14 wins. Nakamura 1 win. 26 draws. So 66% to 34% in favor of Sauron (how Naka referred to Magnus a few years back).

In blitz/rapid: Magnus 98 wins. Naka 49 wins. 127 draws. That's 59% Magnus to 41% for Naka.

I'm even thinking their bullet score overall is in Carlsens favor but Naka won the tournaments. There's probaby a record of all their chess.com results.

I think it really depends on the day with those two. They go back and forth and are pretty much intellectually equally matched. Magnus may have won more matches, but they draw just as much if not more.
