No. Hew will soon get the title of World Champion, no need for another honorable title.
Should Carlsen be given the title of Hyper-grandmaster?

World Champion is the highest official chess title. Carlsen has a reasonable chance to gain that title.

@pfren: I am talking about playing strength. "World champion" doesn't mean that he/she is the strongest player on earth. If what you say is right then Anand should be best among top players and also we should not use words like Super-grandmasters also!!

Makes sense.. if you have unoffical Super-Grandmaster title.. why not Hyper-grandmaster?
Yes because he is all hype!! Just kidding. Lol

Spike out of Buffy?
He's a super genius. No doubt.
I love his ability to find a draw out of losing positions
i have to see it happen first. (re:Carlsen) He has to get by Levon Aronian, Grischuk and Kramnik.
No, unofficial world champion is good enough. Anand is like Adolf Anderssen whereas Carlson is like Morphy.

I'm so glad they didn't kill him off. I thought Spike would be killed off at the end of season 2 since he was like the Master's replacement. Glad to see that Spike made it until the very end when it's implied that Angel beats up a dragon and him and his crew defeats a horde of demons after the credits role (last episode of Angel) The rebuilding from that looks like it's going to be a real hassle though.
He is anything but hyper. He looks like he's falling asleep most of the time
he is a cocky asshole who even do not know to behave in front of a camera.

He did that. In London. In April. Only Anand stands in the way, now. They are playing in November.
We all know that highest officially given title to chess player is grandmaster and still we know that 2700+ grandmasters are much more stronger and even for normal grandmaster it is extremely hard task to have any chance against them. Thats why we invented an unofficial title 'Supergrandmaster'. But now we see one person.. Magnus Carlsen!! He is so strong that even for 2700+ player has very little chance to defeat him!! So why not to invent even higher title: call it Hyper-grandmaster.. I personally think that next chess generation would compete with today's Houdini and they should be called Hyper-grandmasters.. Though today I see only one such person.. Mr. Carlsen!! I would like to know your thoughts about this.. especially of masters on this site!!
