Sven Magnus Een Carlsen

Magnus Carlsen is one of the youngest grandmasters in the world. The young man has several Chess Oscars on his account. The young athlete managed the seemingly impossible: he has the highest Elo rating for the entire period of his existence - 2882 points. Magnus reached this figure in the spring of 2014, breaking the record held by Garry Kasparov for 13 years.

The full name of the chess genius is Sven Magnus Een Carlsen. The baby was born in November 1990 in the town of Tønsberg, which is located in the Norwegian province of Vestfold. In addition to his son, three daughters were growing up in the family: the eldest Hellen and the two younger ones, Ingrid and Signa.

The boy turned out to be a present for his father, an oil company engineer Henrik Carlsen. He is an avid chess player who has achieved a solid result in this sport: an Elo rating of 2100 points. With the birth of his son, Henrik had a chance to raise himself a worthy partner in his favorite game. To which the father began immediately.

The boy showed outstanding mental abilities. At the age of 4, Magnus knew all 436 names of municipal cities in Norway. Even the child unmistakably named the capitals of the countries of the world and their flags.

Already at the age of 5, Magnus was seated at a black and white board. And after 3 years, the guy has achieved impressive results. For a successful blitz game on the Internet, Microsoft sent the Carlsen family on tour for a year.

Magnus was ahead of his peers in development. This was visible to the naked eye. Therefore, the guy had a hard time at school. Children did not accept a child unlike them and expressed their dislike with rudeness and ridicule.

Since 2000, 10-year-old Magnus Carlsen has been coached by International Master Torbjörn Ringdal Hansen. This is a graduate of the Norwegian champion and grandmaster Simen Agdestein. It is noteworthy that the mentor advised the student to improve the playing technique textbooks by Soviet authors, including books by Mark Dvoretsky and Mikhail Shereshevsky. But after 2 years, young Magnus took from Hansen everything he could offer him. Therefore, Agdestein himself took up the preparation of a talented teenager.

At the age of 13, Magnus Carlsen has managed to go from a young prodigy to a chess superstar. The teenager becomes the youngest grandmaster, finishing 2nd at the World Championships in Dubai. It happened in April 2004.

In Reykjavik, Magnus defeated the 12th world champion Anatoly Karpov, and drew with the second champion - Garry Kasparov. From this moment the brilliant chess biography of Magnus Carlsen begins. Victories follow one another, striking the chess world. In 2005, the guy entered the top ten strongest players at the World Championship, which was held in Khanty-Mansiysk, and managed to confirm the title of the strongest chess player on the planet. At the same time - the youngest.

In 2009, the Norwegian prodigy was trained by Kasparov. First secretly, and then openly. Training took place from March to September. Thanks to the Russian mentor, Magnus Carlsen's games are becoming even more virtuoso. As Kasparov admitted, he was impressed by the abilities of the 19-year-old Norwegian. He demonstrated talent with the help of intuition alone, without additional miscalculations. He feels the harmony of a chess game as a virtuoso musician with perfect pitch feels it. It is not for nothing that the fans call Magnus Carlsen "the chess Mozart".

In the same 2009, Magnus Carlsen visited a tournament in China, gaining 8 out of 10 possible points. This performance is considered the best among all those that followed. The Norwegian manages to achieve the highest Elo rating in history, leaving behind his mentors, including Kasparov.

In 2011, Carlsen managed to defeat the main opponent at that time - Sergey Karjakin. Two years later, the young grandmaster became one of the most influential people on the planet. On the list next to this player are presidents and the richest people on the planet.

In the same 2013, the Norwegian chess player became the 13th world champion in this kind of intellectual sports.

Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg considered it a great honor to play a game with him.

The young man put a checkmate to Gates in 9 moves, spending 11 seconds on the game. Naturally, the young man easily beat Zuckerberg.

The Norwegian is considered a universal player, but at the same time, the middlegame and endgame are distinguished, in which the chess player is especially strong. Many rivals and mentors speak only of the technique and style of the young man's playing only superlatively. Karjakin says the Norwegian chess player "plays almost perfectly." Dutch grandmaster Luc van Wely claims that Magnus Carlsen is unique in that “where others see nothing in a position, he just starts playing”. At the same time, he subtly feels the psychology of the opponent.

This ability of the Norwegian is even legendary. Soviet and later Swiss chess player Viktor Korchnoi said that Carlsen's successes "have no direct relation to chess - Magnus is simply hypnotizing his opponent." Observant chess fans argue that the Norwegian's manner of play can be called "lazy grace."

But there are also skeptics. So grandmaster Yuri Razuvaev, characterizing the Norwegian star, believed that "he is the most ordinary tactician, but his positional talent is at the level of Petrosian or Karpov."

In January 2016, the renowned chess player took 1st place at the famous Wijk aan Zee tournament in the Netherlands.

The greatest attention of Russians and fans of the game from all over the world was focused on the Norwegian star in 2016 in connection with the guy's fight with strong Russian rival Sergey Karjakin. Karjakin managed to "beat" Carlsen's record, becoming the youngest grandmaster in the world - at the age of 12.

The match for the world title was held in New York from 11 to 30 November 2016. It consisted of 12 parties. It is noteworthy that this match was called the "youngest" match, because the opponents were then 25 and 26 years old. The prize fund has reached $ 1 million. The winner received 60% of this considerable amount, and the loser received the remaining 40%. Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin were considered the strongest chess players in the world for 2016.

After 12 games were played, the score was 6: 6. As a result, we had a tie-break with a shortened time control. Then Carlsen won by a 3: 1 margin, retaining the title of world champion.

In the same year, one Internet portal reviewed 8 chess openings of Magnus Carlsen, thanks to which the young man manages to remain at the top of the chess Olympus. These include the "Spanish Party, Berlin Defense", "Sicilian Defense", "New Indian Defense", "Queen's Gambit Denied" and others.

Besides chess, the Norwegian has many other hobbies. Magnus plays tennis, football and basketball very well. He is a virtuoso skiing enthusiast and adores comics.

A significant source of income for Magnus Carlsen is the guy's work as a model. The young grandmaster advertises the clothes of the famous Dutch company G-Star RAW. Magnus's colleagues are Liv Tyler and Gemma Arteron. The chess player's advertising activities bring the guy more than a million dollars a year.

Many beauties hunt for the heart of a chess star. With a height of 185 cm, the chess star is a prominent guy. But the private life of Magnus Carlsen is still uncertain. This young man with a heavy look at The Telegraph's question about his personal life replied that he had not thought about starting a family yet. And until the age of 25, the young man never fell in love. In the same conversation, the chess player noted that hobbies, of course, arose, but not falling in love.

In 2017, one beauty managed to win the heart of the king of the chessboard. The young man confirmed that he is in a relationship with a girl named Sinn Christine Larsen. Magnus changed his status on Facebook and posted a couple of photos with his beloved on Instagram. But Carlsen does not disclose the details of the novel, so it is not known whether the couple is together today or not.

In 2014, Magnus was credited with having a relationship with Kate Murphy, the CEO of Play Magnus. But the young people denied these rumors.

The young man lives in Oslo and in 2015 he moved to his own house. In an interview with a journalist, he shared that buying a mansion is an idea with an eye to the future, when the young man starts a family.

Before achieving outstanding results in chess, Magnus played football and became a ski jumping winner. Today the young man is a zealous fan of the Real Madrid football club. In 2013 and 2014 he was honored to strike a symbolic kick off in the matches of this club.

In addition to playing chess and advertising, Carlsen started a business and is promoting his own brand. The young man has developed a chessboard that is suitable for both children and adults.

Another guy is not averse to sitting at the computer. The star promotes chess through the Play Magnus program. Engaged in charity work.

Once Magnus admitted that he sleeps 11-12 hours and a strict work schedule is not for him.

A famous American director suggested that Carlsen star in a film. The chess player agreed, but could not get a visa. The young man often participates in television shows, gives interviews.

In the 28th season of the popular animated series The Simpsons, Magnus became the hero of the project.

From November 9 to November 28, 2018, Magnus Carlsen will once again have to prove that the young man deserves the title of world chess champion. The guy's opponent and a contender for leadership in the world championship was the American Fabiano Caruana, who won the Candidates Tournament in March 2018.

The upcoming autumn tournament will consist of 12 games, which will determine the best chess player in the world.

In 2018, the publishing house "Russian Chess House" published a book by the authors Romero Alfonso, Barlov Dragan, Bernal Luis, Vasquez Renier, So Wesley entitled "The Chess School of the World Champion Magnus Carlsen."
