coming from norway i know that magnus plays alot of football, tennis and other sports so it puzzles my mind why you think he isnt fit enough when he is more fit than 95% of chessplayers. DEFINITELY not smart? please elaborate

Having some personality definitely helps (consider Peyton Manning's social impact), but if it's true that he has none, his talent alone has undoubtedly drawn additional attention to the game.

If you need the "charisma" of Fischer, then i feel sorry for you. Carlsen is already a legend and phenomenon. And if he is non charismatic for people who can't distinguish the knight and bishop then who cares. To me and million other chess players he is one of the games' highest authorities/

Yep;

     I have been told Tiger Woods and a lot of these other athletes are
"charismatic" but I don't find any of them remotely interesting in an
interview.
     The same applies to most actors.  In interviews they are rarely as
interesting as the characters they portray.
     I would rather listen to Kasparov or Carlsen.

i guess using your sparetime beeing a keyboardwarrior on forums bashing players better than yourself is your definition of a cool personality then. magnus apologists? you really dont like this guy

Shouldn't that be - Leave it to the chess fanatics to defend the world's best player, a chess prodigy...? He's a phenomenal player, and from the insight shown in your commentary, I'd imagine he has far more 'charisma' than you, as well.
