Alltid hyggelig med mediaomtale for sjakken som dette, selv om denne saken hadde flere faktafeil enn det som er normalt når journalister skriver om sjakk.
Les Magnus Carlsen er den mest kjente nordmannen som har levd.

Her får du nyheter i norsk og internasjonal sjakk. Vi følger Magnus Carlsen ekstra godt.
When I asked Magnus how he likes traveling with his Dad, he said it is great. It gives him a feeling of being secure and he helps him with food and everything else he may need help with during a trip. At the same time they both have privacy in having separate rooms during a tournament.Ettersom de andre konkurrentene alle måtte nøye seg meg poengdeling, er 17-åringen alene i tet med 3 poeng. Radjabov - Topalov spilte til fløyta gikk og begge kongene stod igjen, mens Ivanchuk lenge presset Anand i et særdeles spennende parti. Dette var underholdende sjakk!
I spoke to Magnus’ father in the press room today, (where he was following the games of the event) and he told me how independent his son is. Since he was young, he always liked to make his own decisions about things. Today even though they do discuss various issues, the final decision always belongs to Magnus.
It is great to see such a close relationship between father and son, with mutual respect! I really do like both of them, very nice and down to earth people!
I also asked Magnus if he agreed with my commentary that the critical moment of the game was when instead of 17.Nc4, Aronian chose 17.Rab1?!. He agreed and commented that Black was ok then too after 17.Nc4 Rxe2 18.Qd3 Ba6 19.Qxe2 and 19…d5.
Aronian felt that he had a big advantage after the opening, but then chose the worst possible continuation.
- Vi ble kontaktet av en god venn av Magnus på ICC (Internet Chess Club) som ba ham stille opp til denne veldedighetssimultanen. Etter hvert fant vi et tidspunkt som passet og Magnus spilte 30 partier mot varierende motstand. Noen motstandere hadde vunnet budkamp på eBay og andre kvalifiseringsmulighet på ICC, sier Henrik Carlsen til ABC Nyheter.Les Carlsen portrettert i The New York Times.
But Magnus stands out for more than just his age. His style of play and sang-froid are unusual. Since he began playing at the age of 8, he has favored tactically complicated positions, creating situations in which he is comfortable, and his opponents, even the best ones, often wilt. He is also mentally tough. He said that sometimes during games he loses his concentration, but then he silently scolds himself, saying: “You are not going to lose this game like an idiot. Try to pull yourself together.”Foto: New York Times
