With his round four victory in Bilbal, and assisted by Anand's loss to Topalov, Magnus Carlsen climbs to the number one position in the world. Impressive stuff for the inevitable world champion from Norway.

I'm posting from the grave, hotshot.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Yeah, but what does Garry Kasparav think about all of this?

 

[Horses Mouth]

is he finally the #1 overall draft pick in fantasy chess now? I've been on his train for 2 years now. It's nice to finally see him get his shot and deliver.

 

[Tigran Petrosian]

Yeah, but what does Garry Kasparav think about all of this?

Garry has predicted Carlsen's ascent and expects him to be the champion at some point. I doubt he figured it would be this close, however.

If you are the number one anything in the world, there is a female groupie that is willing to offer her chest for your inspection.

Somehow, I doubt chess groupies are all that.

"Have you ever done the Ruy Lopez?" is usually a great pickup line.

Carlsen beat Aronian today and co-leads in a Category 21 tourney with Topalov.

Actually, I don't think I would. However, feel free to surprise me with a link or two.

This should be a draft.

 

[Tigran Petrosian]

Alexandra Kosteniuk is quite fetching.

 

[Steve Tasker]

No love for Susan Polgar?

Even dorkier?

This should be a draft.

Completely agree. Someone get this going. This could be the best draft since The Russian Bride Draft.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Yeah, but what does Garry Kasparav think about all of this?

He's coaching him.

 

[NCCommish]

The second French girl is the hottest of the bunch.

I was just thinking about my lack of a chess career the other day. Timely bump.

I started playing again about a month ago....beat up on some patsies at RedHotPawn to get back into the swing of things.

I don't think I'll ever go back. Too much work. IM norms don't grow on trees you know.

Too much temptation on tour?

I believe Kasparov is the highest rated player of all time. How does Carlsen's rating compare to his?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I believe Kasparov is the highest rated player of all time. How does Carlsen's rating compare to his?

I believe that Kasparov hit 2851 elo at his peak. Right now Topalov is at about 2812 and Carlsen, Anand et al. are just below 2800.There has been a lot of talk recently about rating inflation. This seems likely since top grandmasters used to have high 2600 ratings (even as recently as the early 80s when Karpov was champion), and now you see tons of guys over 2700. It could be that players truly are better due to better training (computers), but I think it's likely that there is substantial inflation. There are some good articles that discuss this.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

with a name like Magnus, how could he not be?

 

[Tigran Petrosian]

Magnus dumps Leko with black, and now Topalov (elo 2812) with white... for a performance rating of 3587.

Looks like that training with Kasparov is paying dividends.

 

[Tigran Petrosian]

After drawing in his third game against Wang Yue (with winning chances), Carlsen roared back with a nifty win against Dmitry Jakovenko, again with black pieces.

Something special is happening in China.

That chinese chick looks like a dude

BTW whatever happened to that josh waitzgin (sp) kid from the movie Searching for Bobb Fischer

 

[Tigran Petrosian]

He did it again. This time, Carlsen ambushes an unsuspecting Radjabov in on 25 moves.

A chess revolution is occuring, folks.
