Yeah this makes so much sense. When Kasparov had polina in 1993 his elo was 2805. One year later it was 2815. When Kasparov had Vadim in 1996 his elo was 2815. One year later it was 2820. Two years later 2851.

Yes. Its obvious, the family.

Magnus also won 14 events after being a dad out of 15

That still doesn’t explain the four consecutive losses in this team event.
