LOL, made my day.

I would not say that I was super talented, (out loudly) but I sometimes can't help myself and before I know it I've just smashed a guy/girl, rating exceeding 800 plus man.
This can happen sometimes, 2/3 games in a row.
I do try not to blow my own trumpet, G/f's for....hehehe

I don't think this is racist, its basically true, and not offensive in any way whatsoever. Anthropologists go to Australia to study aborigines, who ARE living in the stone age. Is that racist? No. Australia was founded as a prison colony, is it racist to acknowledge that? No.
When you are a child you can devote yourself singlemindedly to something like Chess without any distractions. If Carlsen had been studying relentlessly for 8 years before he beat Karpov then thats still more work than most people ever put into chess, no matter how old they are. If you learn as an adult then with work and family commitments the game can't be anything more than a hobby.

yes, it's not racist, the irish are simply too tough.
I don't believe him to be human...I have it from reliable sources that he is a pupil of "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"...
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.
I don't think this is the case, you need to understand what you're memorizing.

lol. ok : )
Karpov was decades past his peak, and speed chess is easier for young players. And even if these 2 things weren't true, almost anyone can beat anyone in 1 game. Carlsen wasn't a top player yet.
But his rise was meteoric, just like all the current top 10 players. Masters who were still being put down for nap time by their parents. GMs before puberty. That's how it goes for them.
>>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 think 100 points needs to be chopped off everybody's FIDE rating's. No way Carlsen is 100 points stronger than Fischer who "only" acheived 2785. Given Fischer's phenomenal opening preparation, given an engine, I think Fischer would be clobbering Carlsen, who is known for compartively lax opening preparation, in lots of game, by move 20/25
Ratings compare a pool of players. You can't compare Fischer's 2785 with Carlsen's 2872 by means of subtraction. 5 elo points has no standard like 5 grams.
Besides, chopping 100 points is too arbitrary. And you note Carlsen has the benefit of computers but then note he doesn't make use of them (no deep opening prep).

that is something we will never know keeping in mind that fischer wasnt playing people around 2880...i guess magnus is too good for everybody so his rating escalates quite quickly..he just keeps on winning and winning thats why his rating is so high... thats another chess mystery..what would have happened is magnus played fischer?? we will never know :D
Players keep getting better... Carlsen has almost 40 years more chess material to study on and to improve on. Fischer may have been a marvelous chess player 40 years ago, but today, he would not be able to contend with the likes of Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, or Vishy Anand. It's hurting me to say that, because I don't particularly like the hyper-modern playing styles of Carlsen or Anand, but it's true. Modern chess champions are simply better, which is evident in how some games can be predicted up to move 20 by simply knowing which two players are playing and their colors. Opening theory is ridiculously extensive these days.
Trying to compare players historically is impossible, the Chessmetrics site is tremendously entertaining if you like numbers but the ratings have to be taken with a pinch of salt. However, I think what can be said is that if you gave players like Fischer or Alekhine access to todays information they would be up there with the best because of their phenomenal memories and appetite for hard work. Capablanca on the other hand might be much lower rated because he really couldn't be bothered to study much.
