| Magnusch: <Billy> No, I'm afraid you can't do that because Kramnik would be to easy for Carlsen! :-) |

| yoozum: < puzzlion: Looks like Carlsen to me! Remember, Magnus can perform in many styles. Here he is ready to go out and 'make the town' a Saturday evening. My sister works as a taxi drive in Oslo, she can confirm. She was to drive him home to Lommdalen late night, but fainted when she understood that it was MC himself. Carlsen had to take over the driving. He made Lommdalen i 10 minutes. (20 is usual, she says). He carried her into the house and wake her up by pouring orange juice on her. Then they had a game of chess, while her clothes were drying. (She is only 1650 elo, so obviously he could do whatever he wanted with her).> This is probably the funniest thing I've ever read on CG.com. |

| alexmagnus: Krabbe in his record pages gives an example of quadrupled pawns surviving for 23 moves (from the moment of their appearance on board till the end of the game, draw). A pity the game is not in this database. |

| Rolfo: I think Ezzy's post from Corus page deserves reposting here: "Feb-08-10 Ezzy: I've had enough of all this :-)
Nowhere on these pages, OR the pages on the professional chess websites do you see any written superlatives about Carlsen's tournament victories. I mean, real 'over the top' references to his tournament victories. Well I'm going to correct that by saying Magnus Carlsen is the greatest thing that's happened to chess since Garry Kasparov. His Nanjing, London, and Corus victories were breathtaking, and it takes an extremely precious talent to achieve all this in the span of 10 months. Forget all this rubbish about Shirov deserved to win it, and it's a shame Shirov didn't win because he played great chess. However which way you try to dissect a tournament, it is the person with the most hard earned points that win. If a player makes unsound sacrifices and manages to eek out a win, then it's all well and fare to me. If a player saves a lost position, then that requires determination energy and skill. There are lots of ways to analyse tournaments, but the determining factor in all the analysis is the points you amass at the end of it. How you got there doesn't matter to the history books. Magnus is playing magnificently. He's competing against the worlds best and is finishing on top regularly. He will never play like a machine and will always (untill the end of his career) have problems in games because he's playing class chessplayers. But to go through a whole tournament and hold it all together time after time is simply STAGGERING!! I know nothing about his future successes, but I know about his past and present successes and they are astounding. Magnus must have created interest for millions of youngsters new to the game of chess. He is the popstar of chess. This is so easy for me to say when a 19 year old is world number 1 and rated 2810!!, but I get the feeling that sometimes people are trying to undermine those achievements by petty nitpicking at his tournament victories. Well I'm not going to do that. Magnus has had outstanding almost unprecidented success, and this has rated him higher than most people in the HISTORY of chess!!!!!!!!!!! Why isn't EVERYBODY going 'over the top' like me. Obviously so called professional chess writers don't find it easy to give excessive praise, but I find it very easy for someone like the the UNBELIEVABLY BRILLIANT Magnus Carlsen. He's setting the chess world on fire, and I wouldn't embarrass myself (just yet :-) ) by trying to nitpick at the errors he makes, because the great things he does far outweighs the bad things. I don't know what the future holds, but for now Magnus Carlsen (In chess terms) YOU'RE THE MAN!!" |

| Rolfo: tim, as for puzzzlion's post reading it once you could smile a little, and move on.. When you come trying to make more out of it, well is it the same fun? And then proceeding with your frogbert obsession. No fun at all |
|
Feb-09-10
|
| timhortons: im just asking rolfo, why your blowing your top.
at least frogbert should get the credit of stirring magnus career into success and he should be acknowledge in magnus biography. |
|

|
| Rolfo: tim, Henrik Carlsen did gave frogbert his due credit as he did to some other people also. Fair enough. You can't stand it? |
