Kasparov coaching Carlsen

I just heard it while following bilbao. pretty amazing. sort of feels like the god of chess returned to adopt a son and kick chess onto a higher level. extremely interested to see how it all turns out.

Topaloser should be very worried. 🙂

Meh. Kaspy may not be a good coach.

It looks like the Carlsens are willing to give Garry the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, but we shouldn't get our panties in a bunch quite yet.

Carlsen, or any chessplayer, would be insane for passing up an opportunity to get coaching from Kasparov. That said, you had better have a healthy ego and not take the horrible criticism headed your way. It would probably drive me to drink.

Personally I thought Magnus was doing fine sans Kasparov. I hope he gets his money's worth.
