Karpov up, Carlsen down

I wonder why Lasker, Kramnik, Nimzowitsch and perhaps Steinitz and Morphy haven't even made it into this list.

@tennistree2 you have the right to your own opinion...my judgement of Carlsen is similar to one in other sports...Just because Stephen Curry won two MVPs in a row and two titles, doesn’t mean he’s the greatest of all time. I mean Carlsen isn’t even 30 years old right? He still has another 10-15 years at the top before he has a claim to be considered better than some others on this list.
