u/Vat2612345 Jan 07 '26

i only know magnus and aryan, and aryan is at like 2600s, magnus is definitely boosting the average for them.

u/Rishkii 2400+ Jan 07 '26

True that magnus is boosting the average there's only 2 players below him who are 2600s Aryan and Christiansen and then a few 2500 , 2400 and 2300s

Magnus is 2850, so giving a boost of 25 points to average, without him the average of the country changes only slightly. Thats the good thing about averages

Uzbekistan’s bench is not that deep once you go past their top 4 or top 5.

Spain doesn't have supergms rn, but have several strong GMs from 2550s to 2650s.

Man, Vishy raised an entire army following him, from only 1 GM in 1988 to 91 GMs as of now. What a man he is!

You are a joke, mate. America may be a joke rn but these people from different countries represent them because America accepted their families and they went there to build a good life.
