[The Princess Bride] Why was Westley able to defeat Inigo, who had studied swordplay for much longer?
gpt
They're both phenomenal swordsmen, and the fact that two people with such a transcendent talent actually met it, to coin a phrase, inconceivable. 

Inigo worked and trained *very* hard to achieve the level of Wizard. But as he himself has said, he's been "more pursuing than studying" lately - in other words, he's reached his peak-level, and probably has many years ago. 

Westley pretty much got tossed in the deep-end, and had to get really good really fast. He also seems to be one of those one-in-a-million people who has a crazy innate talent. Combine those together, and you get someone who made it to Wizard-level really, really fast, and probably has a higher level cap than Inigo. 

They are probably the #1 and #2 swordsmen in the entire world, though. Which made them both cocky as all hell.
