Magnus Carlsen is the product of a privleged lifestyle. Having every concievable advantage handed to him on a silver platter, he has slid into the top slot in the world chess scene, without ever having to apply even an honest days effort to achieve it.
In the meanwhile, honest people worldwide break their backs just trying to keep enough food on the table to fed their families. And in the few minutes the can spare from their hectic days, get on chess.com and look at those 64 squares in confusion. Wondering how those priovleged few like Magnus Carlsen seem so at home in this confusing universe. When if fact, any one of us could do what they do. IF we had that much free time to practice it!
What Carsen does isn't talent. It's spoilage!
The moral? Carlsen does not deserve our admiration. He stands as a reminder of how none of us can trust the system!
Im confused
I have never seen that post that you quote from varelse, and do not believe he would have posted it.
