carlsen: damn arbitrators... they never set up the board properly ^^

yeah, a cool little man. He is humble and seems like a genius. I think he will be the future nr1. I bet he would beat kasparov in like 3 of 10 games maybe? Or better? Dont know. But he would win over kasparov if they played together a couple of games. For sure!

Magnus is a genius and I admire him a lot, (he's my favourite player nowadays , together with Ivanchuk) but it's hard to imagine that anybody will ever be considered better than Kasparov in the history of chess.... 1. Kasparov , 2. Fischer , 3. Botvinnik (in my opinion of course). Maybe in the near future Magnus could replace Fischer or Botvinnik in the above list of the best players in history...? Who knows....but better than Kasparov, I doubt it....

yeah, he is my favorite player too. And i belive he would kick kasparov easily if they played ten games with regular time. Not speed-chess.

Im sure they would be pretty similair...5-5 or maybe 7-5 too kasparov. Hard too say. But he beated some good players i read on wikipedia under 2009. And that was under normal time and soo on. Like it should be. If all games where under like 20-40 minutes or 1-2 hours, i think he would beat them all..
