Carlsen Magnus is a legend but we can't ignore the fact that come November he will be fighting not just Sergey Karjakin the excellent chess player we know but he will be fighting against Russia. I say that because we all know the Russian Government is deeply invested in chess matches especially of this highest magnitude. Russian chess players have been known to stick together when going all out for war. I honestly believe the last encounter between Sergey karjakin vs Carlsen Magnus in the bilbao  was not a true reflection of Sergey karjakin true strength, the man is concealing his true form. Who does Magnus Carlsen have in his corner, hammer who is a very weak chess player a chess park player could beat this guy. Hammer should never be allowed even miles close to where Carlsen is training because the boy is a distraction. Not to stray from the topic, I honestly believe Magnus will win the title again because he is so strong right now.

If Fischer could beat the Russian machine then why can't Magnus?

Bro we cant hate on Carlsen for using chess engines because every top player is using them, let me put it like this every tournament chess player is using chess engines.  Carlsen even said i dont use books anymore i look at them from time to time but I focus more on computer engine suggestions. Vachier Lagrave said the same thing, Maybe Botvinik was correct on his predictions on chess when he said ' Chess of the future will be a war against machines and the best machine will be sold to chess players"
