Due to developments in computer technology, Carlsen would win. If Carlsen had not had computers the game would perhaps end in a draw.
José Raúl Capablanca vs Magnus Carlsen
Sort:
Carlsen. Capablanca didn't have enigines

Even without chess engines and databases, Carlsen wins. Carlsen had great coaches, Capa never had any.

Capablanca could well have been every bit as talented as Carlsen, but Magnus has had more resources and worked harder at the game.
Capa was The Chess Machine!

Capablanca was the naked king, Alekhine was a spy, Morphy was sedated and Steinitz was a dwarf, and Magnus is a movie star.
Fischer was an astro nut.
so um.... do you mean movie stars are worse at chess than a naked king or the other way around.

In all these now vs then grandmaster what-if's, why does everyone also think the game would also be played across time? Capablanca playing Carlsen today would have access to the same engines, databases, frequent-high competition, etc. - he would NOT be stuck in his World Championship period of 1921-27 and send his moves through a time fissure!

Why does no one think of the opposite? Carlsen born in Capa's time?
Same answer: too much speculation.
The player who people thought at the time he had solved the game of chess or is now considered the best chess player of all time. Let me know who would win.
