London. Magnus Carlsen, 27, is the old and new world champion of chess. The Norwegian defended his title at the World Cup in London against American challenger Fabiano Caruana. Carlsen won the three fast parts of Sovereign Chess. 3: 0 – because up to four games are played in the decisive game, it was enough to triumph.
Carlsen defended the title for the third time. In 2013, he was the challenger at the age of 23 against Indian Viswanathan Anand for the first time the best chess player in the world. In 2014, he defended the title against Anand, in 2016 against the Russian Sergei Karjakin, now against Caruana. The particularity of this world cup? The twelve regular games ended in draws.
But who is the "Mozart chess"?
Prodigy, genius, spirit – the Norwegian Magnus Carlsen is undoubtedly a world chess champion and, at home, in winter sports, he is almost a folk hero. In London, he defended his title successfully – for the third time after 2014 and 2016.
Norway was an absolute no man's land on the chess map, until Magnus Carlsen came – and delighted his compatriots with his art in the 64 courts. The World Champion matches will be broadcast live, commented and badyzed at prime time, as is known in local countries only with regard to football broadcasts with all the complacency.
At 27, he belonged to the rare species of miracles. Became grand master at the age of 13, he was then the second youngest player in the history of the sport and had even lied to Garry Kasparov, the best player in the world until now, in a blitz tournament, even a draw. Kasparov commented with his incredulous unbelieving looks and predicted a successful career for the boy.
He should be right. Carlsen has now become the best player in the history of chess. At the age of 19, he became the No. 1 in the world rankings and has not abandoned this position since July 2011. In November 2013, he won the title of world champion at the # 39, age 22, before reaching in May 2014, with 2,882 Elo points, the highest total history of sports thinking.
The same year, exceptionally for his circumstances, he is triple world champion. In addition to the clbadic chess title, the football fan also won the fast and light chess titles. Carlsen is now a global brand with its own company, which offers many learning applications ("Play Magnus"). As a celebrity, he is often invited to talk shows and show events.
