Congratulations! ^_^
Great result, GM Carlsen. Hope somebody stages a Kasparov-Carlsen match. Mentor vs “Student”. Two of only 3 current members of the 2800 Club. With his coaching work with Carlsen, I’m sure Kasparov has had opportunities to sharpen up.
This is just Kasparov’s way of busting Kramnik’s chops. If Kramnik had only given Kasparov a rematch this would not have been happening.
