Wunderkind, genius, grandeur: the Norwegian Magnus Carlsen is almost a folk hero in his winter sports house. 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 enchanted his compatriots with his art in the 64 courts. The World Champion matches will be broadcast live, commented and badyzed in prime time, as you know in the countries of the region only from football broadcasts.
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.
