Mor from Nor

Knowledge

I guess this is really a forum topic to promote Magnus Carlsen's success in chess. I decided to award him the personal nickname Mor from Nor. What does this exactly mean? I somehow wanted to sound original. So I avoided chess players like Bobby, Karpov, and Kasparov. I decided to choose Paul Morphy. Why? As we learn and read about him, we see that he was an extremely good chess player who seemed to be a natural at this game. Despite being before the World Chess Championship, he was said to dominate Europe's best competition. I think it suits Carlsen because as of now he is young, the world's best, and yes he does dominate chess competition. Just to keep from causing confusion, Mor is short for Morphy and Nor is short for Norway. What do you think of this nickname?
