Go Magnus!
Carlsen should withdraw…..he’s playing 2300 chess…he’s a mess.
Lesson to the future GMS….don’t model and get caught up with BS. Carlsen is finished…he can’t come back from the beating he’s taken the past month..its ridiculous to consider him a WCC he’s too young…doing stupid things…sad really.
This is getting painful for Carlsen.. his level has dropped significantly..
Is Carlsen sick ?
Is he going through some personal teenager issues (he is a teenager after all) ?
Or what …?
Magnus loses again!!! Now where are the usually loud Magnus Carlsen fans? Shows your faces and explain something?
Turns out Carlsen’s modeling was a distracting endeavor afterall. Maria Sharapov has not won a tennis grand slam since she tried to become a flashy tennis show girl rather than a professional player.
Someone tell Magnus this:
You want to play chess, play chess. You want to hang out with Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, then pack up the pieces and quit chess.
Oh, and by the way, I am a huge Magnus Carlsen fan, so no beef here.
Perfect.
Carlsen losing to Anand hardly warrants ‘!’ marks. Anand is clearly Carlsen’s nemesis as he stands an appalling +1 -7 =10 in classical matches after today’s result.
Anand must be thrilled that it’s Carlsen here and not Aronian, who is Anand’s own personal chess nemesis, with an eye-popping +5 -1 =9 vs the World Champion and new live Fide # 1.
