Will you guys follow up the September 10, 2010
“Raw World Chess Challenge” between teen prodigy (world #1 ranked player) Magnus Carlsen and the World?
Regards.
Dear viewer,
Magnus Carlsen (born Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen on 30 November 1990) is a Norwegian Chess Grandmaster and Chess prodigy currently ranked number one in the world on the official FIDE rating list.
He has achieved a rating exceeded only by Garry Kasparov. On 26 April 2004 Carlsen became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 years, 148 days, making him the third youngest Grandmaster in history.
On January 1, 2010 the new FIDE rating list was published, and at the age of 19 years, 32 days he became the youngest Chess player in history to be ranked world number one, breaking the record previously held by Vladimir Kramnik.
Carlsen is also the 2009 World blitz Chess champion. His performance at the September–October 2009 Nanjing Pearl Spring tournament has been described as one of the greatest in history and lifted him to an Elo rating of 2801, making him the fifth player to achieve a rating over 2800 – and aged 18 at the time, by far the youngest to do so.
Based on his rating, Carlsen has qualified for the Candidates Tournament which will determine the challenger to face World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the World Chess Championship 2012.
