Anybody watching it?

Yes, I watched it, but not three weeks ago, (which is when your posted your question, according to the timestamp). 

The episode was originally telecast back in February of this year:

It wasn't worth a crap.

Very interesting show. I am quite curious, will Mangus Carlson go crazy like Robert, Bobby, Fischer? Surely Mangus is young and it can happen to him.

Of course it can happen to him but why would it?  Most of your world champions were prodigies and most don't go crazy.

Plus, it really seemed like Bobby felt alone against the whole world.  It doesn't seem like Carlson feels that way.

I know some people think this is a rule, but...why not?  It harms nothing.  Only those who want to participate need do so.

People don't realize that his form of madness was organic. People should see chess can't cause madness.
