magnus carlsen basically quit because computers ruined chess. As did kasparov.

Fischer was probably the last great player who was unassisted by tools.

Carlsen plays still at the highest level. He just didn't want to do the world championship anymore, wasn't worth the effort after winning it so many times.
?? Carlsen is very much active -- look up the YouTube channel EpicChess for an extremely entertaining recap of what he's up to recently.
