How about Morozevich? I like his style of playing and he's beaten Carlsen already. Twice I think.
Who will be the Next World Champion?And when carlsen looses?
Sort:
Every second thread on this site is about Carlsen?
On topic: I don't think Carlsen has any reason to worry in the next few years.
Morozevich plays very "forcing" games but saeems to have passed his prime.Is 2722 now (only.LOL.If I acheive 1722 I will be happy).
I would prefer to see competition.But, now, nobody seems to be able to win him in a Match, unfortunatelly
Aronian has the skill, but maybe not the character to outplay Carlsen. Kramnik has both, but may lack the energy. Naka has the character, but maybe his play still needs some maturing...
The main problem of all those players is that they lack regularity.
Nope no one alive can touch Carlsen.
Catlsen is only 23 years old. And will likely not retire for another 30, maybe even 40. Therefore, by irrefutable logic, the next World champion has not been born yet. And therefore, has not been named.
#logic'd
Karjakin, Nakamura, Caruana and Giri will give Carlsen the strong opposition. Carlsen is at his peak but the 4 are not and will improve continuously. IMO, the 5 will make chess more popular than ever.

Dammit. I have already been born. And named (Ubik42).
So it probably wont be me.

What makes you say Carlsen is at his peak and the others aren't?
Just my speculation. Carlsen is playing heads above all. And he won the WCC and No. 1 highest rating. The 4 will try to catch up with Carlsen leading. Their present form cannot dethrone Carlsen. One who makes that quantum leap will be the serious title contender.
Nakamura is the best bet. Anand gave the title to Carlson.

There is an credible rumour that after Kasparov wins the FIDE Presidency, his next plans involve beating Carlsen for the championship, thus becoming the first person ever to be WC and FIDE Premier at the same time.
haha that would be hilarious
Good comentaries so far.
I agree with the majority.I think that carlsen will keep the throne with 70% of accuracy in my prevision, for the next 10 yeras.In the first 3 yearsm, the best bet against him is Kramik, the next 3 Aronian and the last 4 Nakamura or Giri (Caruana does not convincy me)
It seem Carlsen will keep his crown for a time. Kramnik is the more frightning opponent in a WC match for the moment, maybe aronian could win also, but i ll bet on carlsen for the next WC.In the 10 next years i think maybe aronian, karjakin, caruana could be dangerous for him ( Carlsen look unbeatable for nakamura ;) ) Maybe also youngsters like giri, rapport or yi wei could become dangerous. But in all case, if Carlsen was loosing his crown, the new Champion will have the next time a very very hard challenger... Carlsen!
Really, now, it seems that magnus will seat in the throne sometime.But who, really, can grow to win him in a 12 games match?
Kramik? (Old, needs to do this fast)
Ivanchuck(He can win briliantly one game not a whole match)
Nakamura (Young, ambitious, but needs more training, almost never won a game against him)
Aronian (Young, well-rounded player, not "briliant" as a WC usually needs to be)
Caruana (Young, prodigious, has "space to grow" but neede to prove that is a "top" player yet.
Other known guy?
Some Kid (today) that will grow to be a Super GM in the next 5-10 years?
I think that, if Kramik doesn't beat him in the next 1 or 2 years Aronian will play and loose until Nakamura or other prodigious young ( Caruana) win.If not, he reigns for more than 10 years until sme KLid grow enough
