1. Someone of his similiar style
2. Someone that resembles Anand style
3. Person with highest winning percentage against Anand ( if Carlsen, then the 2nd person, obviously)
letsgohome good insight. But, no. Carlsen hides his seconds because he doesn't want to reveal them. Her is what his seconds duty.
1. Accompany him to a bar.
2. Wake him up and talk while walking.
3. Listen to music and dance.
Now, you know why he hides his seconds.
Carlsen could use Edgar Davids as a second. Davids is a huge fan of Carlsen.
hmmm
hahaha
Having seen the game, he has mr bean as secondant.
+1 lol

lmao. I was just wondering if the chess.com community could identify the current players that match those styles.
hmmm
I am no chess expert, but I think the 3 seconds should have their own speciality ot prevent the "too many chefs in the kithcen spoil the broth" metaphor from transpiring. Since, each coach will have a distinct role. The first second should have a game similiar to the player ( share his same openings and tendencies), since they can discuss offesive strategy and overall game plan, as you can say an Offensive coordinator in american football would for his team. The 2nd second should think like his opponent ( share his same openings and tendencies), thus fortifying the defensive side by negating likely offensive combinations by the opponent, while concurrently trying to find vulnerabilities or flaws of thinking patterns, basically psychological warfare against the opponent, as he will be similiar to the defensive coordinator in american football. The 3rd second should have the highest win percentage or has caused the most distress against the oppponent, this second's role will be to add offensive and defensive insights from his perspective, especially in unfamiliar positions, as he will be similiar to the special teams coordinator in American football. There may be some overlap, yes, but i believe it will be miniscule. I think this system could be very effacious in this format. Thus, to recapitulate Carlsen's seconds
1. Someone of his similiar style
2. Someone that resembles Anand style
3. Person with highest winning percentage against Anand ( if Carlsen, then the 2nd person, obviously)
I just need a chess enthusiast better than myself to find out those seconds that meet the criterion.
Thanks guys. And in this world of withheld permissions may you fly higher than the skies.
here is the insight that mr.bean is talking about, will at least i thinnk he is talking about.
still waiting from the chess.com community to find an answer for quote #19
nice diskusion
Certainly not Nielsen. He is not in India. He is live-commenting the game in a danish chessclub (Øbro)
When considering skype, facebook, email, cellphones, etc., I don't see how his geography eliminates this possibility. I often times play against Indians while sitting at a computer in the center of the USA.
I read Karjakin & Nepomniatchi, in addition to Hammer. Both of them were conspicuously absent from other events happening recently, and Karjakin is a great exponent of the Berlin. They also all are known to be friends with Carlsen according to the source I read a couple of days ago.
Carsen's seconds: Houdini and Rybka operated by a Norwegian fisherman who thinks that pawn is the stuff that gets you wet.
Anand's seconds: Easter bunny, a green tea confidante who has no idea what a knight is, and Fozzy from the muppets.

if you are so well versed in chess, then can you please answer post 19 of this thread, thank you in advance. I want someone's opinion who knows what they are talking about.

Don't know, brah. Maybe somebody else knows if those three fit your criteria though.
Can you figure it out brah?
No brah, I'm too tired to do anything close to work at the moment.
Houdini, Rybka, and Fritz. Who needs seconds when you have chess engines?
Do you talk to them? Do they have emotion?
Maybe and no.
