For those people who enjoyed Bobby Fischer Goes to War, Bobby Fischer's Outrageous Chess Moves, Bobby Fischer Puts His Pants On," etc. etc., a new book out, this time about Magnus Carlsen,the thirteen year old grandmaster, by his trainer Simen Agdestein. This was reported over at Playchess.com. The book is called WonderBoy (is this the best the translator could do?). Fischer couldn't make grandmaster level until he was fifteen, Carlsen beat him by a couple of years. And unlike fischer, this kid appears NORMAL. He loves chess and football (soccer) and doesn't appear to suffer from any paranoia as yet. You can follow his games from major tournaments over the net. He plays exciting chess, as you would expect for a thirteen year old. He hasn't yet learned the art of the short draw. The next Kasparov or just a flash in the pan? YOu decide.

I believe Carlsen still has a game over at www.chessfm.com too in the videos section. The commentary for the game is provided by another pro, I don't remember who the pro is. Carlsen plays black against Kasparov and whups him with the Sicilian if my memory holds true.
Now that I think about it maybe it was a draw. Oh man my poor brain needs a break.
Anyway, I hope the young man holds up and has a great career.

You say this kid also likes soccer and doesn't suffer from any mental disorders (yet)..... Well this basically means he may never surpass Fischer now! He dedicated every second of his life to chess and now he's a angry, paranoid, hateful old man. If this kid doesn't want all that, then he might as well just give up now! 😉
