Honestly do you think all the great chess players came to be because they had the mind set that the couldn't beat the best, or be the best. Magnus Carlsen is extremely gifted chess player. He is one in a million but if I played 10 games agaisnt him there is no doubt in my mind that I could beat him atleast once. Chess is a game of out smarting your enemy, it is not about how many games you have played or how many books you have read. There are tons of people who have played more games than Magnus Carlsen and are not even close to being as good as him. Magnus Carlsen is human, he is capable of making a mistake, and he is capable of losing to me no matter how many reasons there may be of why I couldnt be him. 

I think he was little bit lucky to be honest, he was coached by norway's best chess player, agdestein, and he was practicing a lot with the strong grandmaster jon ludvig hammer. Also he had a very supportive family that encouraged him to not always play chess and do other practical stuff, he is into sports and other interests as you might know. Yeah maybe he is natural talented but there are factors that can make you more than a grandmaster.

I will admit I would have to train for atleast a year, but yes I think I could beat Carlsen after playing just 10 games. Almost everyone reading this will laugh but that doesnt bother me because that just shows they dont believe in themselves and if you cant believe in yourself then really who can you believe in. One of my favorite quotes is "Are deepest fears are not that we are inadequate, are deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure, It is the light not our darkness that most frightens us".

I believe you 100%. You just have to train for 1,674 hours per day, and bang, mission accomplished.

I can't beat Carlsen because I've never tried. Do you think the Scholars Mate Opening could be his undoing?  *rubs hands* :p

I bet I could beat him when he was just born.

chessmasters2004

Cause we cant play him.

How often has he lost this year?

Two or three times at Gashimov memorial

Tharinda97

Because he is the world champion!

TJBChess

Because my real name is actually Vishy Anand... Cry

Tharinda97

Because we resign before the game!

REDRUM6

Because I don't get a chance to play with him.

EclecticBlunder

Because he doesn't always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers it with a Staunton Chess set.
