Do you have any concept of how much that is at the very top? EDIT: Just to preempt: This is not say that Gukesh doesn't have a very bright future or couldn't surpass Magnus' top rating. Gukesh could definitely do that... but currently neither Gukesh or Ding are even particularly close to Magnus' (current!) level.

Ironically, in the match that Gukesh won and that made him world champion, he lost rating points, inceasing his distance to Magnus.
