How this is possible (He is super talent, but still)?

Magnus Carlsen was beat former Chess World Champion Anatoli Karpov in blitz game, when he was only 13 years old. Anatoli has been playing chess for many decades at the top (or close the top). It's very hard to understund, how young boy who learn playing chess when he was 5 years old, can beat old master only 8 years later.

Carlsen became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 years. He is super talented person of course. But still it's hard to understund, how someone can learn so quickly.

I generally thinking; If you want to be good or even top player, you must training and study very hard and most of people, this take a long long time. Chess is complicated game on master level and it's take a time to learn all tactics, strategy, patterns etc..

Any ideas, opinions, knowledge?

Carlsen's secret is a minature camera and a radio transmitter.

One single blitz win does not invalidate or put to question years of experience/patterns/skills training. 

Young + inexperienced players with lots of natural talent scalp/draw titled players in Simuls or speed games all the time.   So do hustlers in th park! :)

Serious chess will always remain a slow-time control affair.  (or so I hope in the years ahead!)

Update/Edit:
Comparisons on skills, experience, patterns, training really should only be made when we're talking about slow OTB games.

I do think it is interesting to ask when (what age) Carlsen started scalping top-flight Grandmasters  and how his lack-of-experience did not prove to be a disadvantage.

I have been only playing for 4 months chess.. 4 months ago I started To play I got to a 400 blitz rating... And 4 months later I am 1570 blitz trying to get to 1600... I improved more than 1150 points in 4 months.. Some people just learn quicker than others....

Aren't the natives of Australia the Aboriginies?

Huh?

dude i was writing on my iphone.... do u know how bad that keyboard is?

>>I do think it is interesting to ask when (what age) Carlsen started scalping top-flight Grandmasters

Magnus is the No. 1 ranked player in the world (2013). His peak rating is 2872, the highest in history. Seems to me, he already done "scalping" top Grandmasters?

I find it impressive that you went from a 400 rating to a 1572 rating in only 4 months, skinnypurpleducks. I bet I'm just a sorry, hopeless case: 2 years in and I'm still only around 1200 in blitz.

He probably just memorizes everything about opening theory. It's much easier to do that nowadays with computers. Some kid can just come on to chess.com and study the database for every master game ever played. 

reported mate...

u cant really be racist to me and when i reply ¨reported¨ u tell me to grow up??? lol

u highly offended me by being racist i quote-

Yes Aborigines -- a people still living in the stone age -- with an overlay of the worst felons of England and Ireland.

A Charming mix.

thats what u said! and i reported you... u cant really go around saying nasty things....

no dude all u gotto do is study tactics!1!! tactics will get you to 1500 in a couple of months!! 100 problems a day and in a couple of months we will be playing mate :)

what does "realise that me such things to say" mean?

I think some people have more of a knack for things than others, and people like Carlsen seem to have this knack. Some people call it talent. I'm sure some players who are young and get into the game early, preferably a coach to steer them the right way towards improvement will likely rapidly improve and grow into strong players, but from what I've read or heard about Carlsen he really seems to have some knack for chess. I'd be interested to see if he could likewise perform in some other arena of life as he does chess.

Ich habe schadenfreude.

I think learning chess is like learning language, best done when you are young. If you take it up when you are old, you will always have an accent.

That's true ubik look at nearly all the cm FM IM and GM nearly all of them learnt before they were 10 years how to play chess

to a machine, it don't matter what age we are, just put us in the garage and crank us up anytime.
