Carlsen may have talent, but he needs to be more punctual. He lost to Topalov because he thought he was playing a different time control!
Does Magnus carlsen have talent?
Sort:
Chess is just too much of an unfriendly game. No warning at all when you're about to lose on time. Although chess.com leads the world in such warnings.
it does take talent to beat kaprov at age 13
Thomas Edison stole a lot of patents the light bulb wasn't created by him he just stole the patent and electrocuted animals in front of people with AC current to prove DC was better (it wasnt)

Wow, Carlsen's loss to Hammer today was brutal!
4...f6?!, then missing c5, then missing the mating attack? Wow.

Hammer needed a win and some rating points.

I've just took a look at this game and it's obvious to me that Carlsen wasn't in the mood to play chess, he just wants this tournament to end as fast as possible. First f6, and few moves afters pawn lost and ridiculous bishop sacrifice. This also proves some disrespect for Hammer. Maybe this is even a bad sportmanship.

Nah. Hammer's actually helped Carlsen prepare for matches before. This wasn't poor sportsmanship, just bad play.

I can't believe that MC could play so badly without intention to do that. He may let Hammer win. I mean this game looks like when kids sac material...
omg how idiots can u be? there is no chess grandmaster of +2600 level that is untalented!!Carlsen is a genius! Perhaps, the most talented chess player of all time! Being the best in the world, in the era of computers without scientific opening preparation proves what a genius he is!!
@AndrewKutches it is funny how people say that carlsen plays 1500 because he lost from hammer and anand!!!!They are super GMs ! Come on guys! It was just a bad tournment and even so, carlsen can't have played less than 2550 in worst case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
DON'T JUDGE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW! CARLSEN CAN ONLY BE JUDGED BY PLAYERS OF THE SAME LEVEL WITH HIM NOT BY SOME 1500 CLUB PLAYERS...!
apparently.

Magnus has a very intelligent father, so there must be some calculation and purpose behind this singular failure.

It's not that he doesn't have talent; he just doesn't have strong enough competition in this era. If he had lived in Paul Morphy's days he wouldn't fare so well due to the players' superior positional knowledge.
I guess I'm a bit humor-challenged to get how the reversal is funny :)

Magnus Carlsen ofcourse has colossol talent, amazing memory and is probably highly intelligent. And he does not have any kind of autism. He has disowned rumors like that. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

This is quite funny! 
What a crazy question, does Magnus have talent. Wow!

LISTEN TO ME I HAVE POSTED SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS TOPIC
STOP IGNORING ME
Apparently, Carlsen has a fantastic intuition.
