It's only facebook, but that is quite a dismal number. I thought he had more with all the modeling and media exposure.

I guess chess leaves a lover socially inept.

maybe he just chooses his friends carefully?

No, everyone knows that chess lovers make the best mates.

On the other hand his Facebook fan page (as opposed to his personal page, to which you linked above), has 6836 fans.

After the Kasparov debacle "Carlsen was mocked at Facebook and on other internet sites, and is said to have subsequently removed 4000 Facebook “friends”."

Magnus is a sensitive man

Perhaps he has something better to do than hang on Facebook all day.

it depends how you use fb.... some people are only friends with people they know well in real life. Others friend people with similar outlooks even if they don't know them. So it's really a matter of choice and there's nothing good or bad about the number. I say it's a sign of integrity if anything.

100% based. Why would you want to have 2000 wannabe "friends" on such a spying device like a 13 years old girl?

Eight years after the creation of this thread, no one I know even uses FB anymore.
