It sounds like he’s somebody who has a lot of love for chess and has the potential to be a very strong player.įrom what I can see he’s a typical young player in the sense that he calculates well, he fights well, and he can sometimes misevaluate positions, but I also think we shouldn’t proclaim anybody who’s 12 years old a future World Champion. Magnus wasn’t surprised that Abhimanyu had said he works 12 hours a day, since he’d also had a childhood consumed by chess.Ĭertainly when I was 12 there was very little deliberate practice, as you call it, but I certainly was doing something chess-related non-stop. I could see on the one hand that gives you a better chance to get the norms, but it also means that these tournaments are practically organised for you to achieve this particular aim, so it also puts a lot of pressure on you, so I’m really impressed that he achieved this feat. It’s a pretty nice achievement, I would say especially considering that he went to Hungary to play basically non-stop, I feel like for a couple of months now, and to get his norms. I’m not going to celebrate more than giving it a nod and like “hah, that’s a nice thing!” But I will say huge congratulations to Abhi Mishra from the United States, who became the youngest grandmaster of all time. Will Magnus go on for another decade like Garry? We’ll see, but for now it’s notable that when asked about celebrating, Magnus was more interested in celebrating another record-chasing youngster, Abhimanyu Mishra, the world's youngest ever grandmaster. Since then his lead hasn’t dropped to less than 20 points (when Fabi reached 2842 in February 2020), and after Caruana’s struggles in the Superbet Chess Classic in Budapest, Magnus goes into his next decade with a 41-point lead. He matched his 2882 rating on the August 2019 rating list, when he led Caruana by 64 points.
The highlight still for me has been the first half of 2019, when everything sort of clicked, and I had also my joint highest rating of all time. He picked that out himself as the most impressive part of the last decade:
October 2013: Magnus opens up his biggest gap - a massive 74-point gap to Vladimir Kramnik, with only Magnus in the 2800 club.Īugust 2019: Magnus is back - That game was the start of a wonderful half year for Magnus, who again and again went on winning streaks against the world’s best players, playing a brand of attacking chess we hadn’t seen so often in the past from the World Champion. January 2013: Carlsen breaks Garry’s record - Magnus scored an unbeaten +5 to win the London Chess Classic in December 2012, taking his official rating on the January list to 2861, surpassing Garry Kasparov’s peak of 2851. Let’s take a brief look at some of the highlights from the last decade. For instance, in the match against Caruana there were a number of games where I was struggling, so the fact that it’s been so long, there’s obviously some luck involved there as well! There have been a lot of games, or even just moves, that I could have lost the no. 2, and they’ve both been in touching distance over that time. There are just nine players.Īs you can see, between them Fabiano Caruana and Levon Aronian have spent 7 of the 10 years as world no. 1 for so long, it’s perhaps more interesting to look at who’s been in the no. I don’t have any particular plans, but I’m at least happy that the gap is pretty wide again now after Caruana lost a few points in Romania, so for the moment it’s not a big concern. 2 Fabiano Caruana by 41 points, is now stretching his streak beyond a decade, with no immediate end in sight. Magnus, who on the July 2021 rating list has a 2847 rating and leads no. That made it an official streak of 9 years and 9 months. 1 again on the July 1996 rating list, this time lasting until March 2006 (he only dropped off the rating list a year after his retirement in March 2005) - he no longer featured on the April 2006 rating list. That meant a new streak began when Garry was no.

1 until January 1996, a full decade, when the 20-year-old Vladimir Kramnik matched Garry’s 2775 rating but took the number 1 spot on the tiebreak of having played more games. Officially the streak ended there, but only because FIDE removed Kasparov and Nigel Short from their rating lists in 1994 after they broke away from FIDE to play their 1993 World Championship match. 1 from 1976-1983, but Garry first at least matched that in a streak stretching from 1986-1993.
1 he can claim already to have surpassed Garry.Īnatoly Karpov spent 8 years as unbroken world no. 1? “Unlikely, but we’ll see”, he says in the video above, but when it comes to unbroken streaks as world no. 1, but he still has almost exactly a decade to go to match Garry Kasparov’s 255 months - 21 years and 3 months! Will Magnus spend another decade as no. 1, Magnus has surpassed Anatoly Karpov’s 102 months as world no.
