where is the girl – approximate 15teen years old – to beat magnus carlson?
is there a difference in genders?
or is magnus (…the great ) carlson the most over estimated adolescent, chess world has ever seen?
i don’t like his GRANDMASTER behaviour … even RJF did not behave such slangil
– or is Magnus SIMPLY the BEST (Tina may forgive me!)???
may Lasker give him some testosterone – and may girls cross his way …
sincerly – not a Carlson – Fan – Vohaul :-))
The title should be “in Bosnia”
Carlsen at a very young age is progressing very nicely! He reminds me of a young Robert J Fischer! I think a World Title is in his future.

thinking is a matter of luck … as we use to say in germany … ^^
@TFK – did ‘u ever play Fischer?
sincerly, Vohaul
In the last round Nisi andMalakov took an ugly chicken draw after some minutes of play. Booooooooooooo. Magnus fought for a win, but choose a weak line in Spanish Open, and had to fight for an equal position. He could have got draw by repetition,but refused and played on in a slightly worse position. He became dead lost, but fought on like a tiger, and manage to get a miraculous draw. That was incredible. Now the three are tied first, but Magnus won the sympathie.
