Who Will Dethrone Magnus When the Time Comes?

Sort:
Iluvsmetuna

I think he has peaked and the only way is down.

During Sinquefield, he was on fire.

But maybe too many ice bucket challenges put out the fuse.

Alright, tuna enthusiast, don't start bashing Fabiano. To quote some other member: He's at an all-time high...FABIANO MARIJUANA!

arul_kumar

Some kid in India or China ,will dethrone him after Anand!

History repeats itself when it comes to calm positional players

Capablanca has Alekhine

Karpov has Kasparov

Carlsen will have his nemesis as well

Of course, it might wind up being the same thing that dethroned Fischer.

Botvinnik had Tal

Petrosian had Spassky

Interesting pattern you've pointed out there, mate. Smile

Interesting perspective! Fabiano is relatively tactical, perhaps he will take him down. After Vishy, of course ;)

Yah camberfoil, I started a thread on how Fabiano was going to be the next world champion.

Everyone turned their nose up at it. Then after Sinquefield, Fabiano decided to have a Sinqueing feeling and let all his supporters down.

He needs to toughen up, start getting his tooth fillings out, start ranting and raving about stuff, because Carlsen loves revenge and at the moment Fabbi is a sitting duck and it seems the only way is down.

Time he hit the gym big time.

Kasparov, needs "one more match"

Caruana is realizing how difficult it is to maintain a high rating. He loses 1-2 pts a draw.
