Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi, Karjakin and Karlsen have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games.

Observe Garry Kasparov's groundbreaking opening preparation. Magnus Carlsen's Best Endgames Magnus Carlsen became world champion by winning seemingly drawn endgames better than anyone in the history of chess. The first world number one, in July 1971, was Bobby Fischer.

Although one could say that Kasparov had to win the championship from/defend it against Karpov 4 times, who is greater than everyone Magnus has faced. Also comparing Carlsen now and 96/97 Kasparov is not quite fitting agewise. You'd have to be comparing him to 2023/2024 .
