Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Of Carlsen will be #1 for another 20 years.
The Carlsen pic seems to say ‘ what’s the point of topping the charts! I want to be known as the World Champion as well and I don’t want to play the other guys in a match,since I’m anyway better than them!
I don’t agree with Carlsen’s position on not letting the World Champion defend his/her title without having to re-qualify. But he’s standing up for what he believes, and I support that.
No one is surprised that another person who wants to remain anonymous makes these kind of ridiculous accusations about Carlsen’s attitude and courageousness.

‘Yo! I wish they would regard me as World Champ! After all I’m a few points ahead of that old man Anand! Atleast they should give me a free shot for the title vs Anand’ Boo! Hoo!
I can’t find Li Chao in the list, who should be about 2710.
