Go Carlsen go!
Go Peter!!!!!!!!!
With his win over Anand, albeit in rapid, Carlsen has wins over everyone that counts. He MIGHT be able to dominate the Chess World soon.
Carlsen, unlike Aronian, Karjakin, Radjabov and many others doesn’t seem be slowing down towards a plateau, actually he seems to start gaining momemtum. This could get really interesting in the next few years.
I am really (positiv!) surprised by Peter’s result.
Why doesn’t he also play that well and undrawish?
So I agree with pitor: Go Peter!
why does always Van wely come last??
just like me!!! je JB.
The rise of King Magus!
Go Magnus! Go Peter! 😀
