When you hear high-rated players discuss chess, they mention names like Hou, Kasparov, Nezhmetdinov, Kramnik, Karyakin, and many, many others. Women GMs get less attention, like in chess books. When you land in a forum, all you ever get is talk about Fisher or Carlsen and whatifs.
Hou is female.
Fans don't care about gender, but they do care about the best players.
The Vienna, because I'm comfortable with it.
I think i might hit him with Dutch Stonewall.
Wow...I would ask him to quit the game and give me a 20 minute lesson.
1.h3 to get him out of his opening preparation and into uncharted waters :)
Magnus usually opens with a Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense. I would learn how to counter that and also I would ask for extra time on my clock. Like. Bill Gates vs Magnus, It would be 30 seconds to 3 minutes
Carlsen's berlin is way too good and no way I'm going into a middlegame without queens against someone who is famous for his endgame technique. 1.d4 and I'll be owned in a grunfeld. So maybe the Italian game, and play a very boring variation. Don't give him the bishop pair, sit it out till move 60 and slowly get crushed where Carlsen will finally win, but atleast I've lasted long and made him waste precious time he could have used to study the Berlin xD
Use Stockfish
id throw the chess board away and chase norwegian blondes with him
What's great is I imagine he'd be willing to do it too
from what ive heard, Carlsen is basically a superstar in Norway.
It wouldnt be hard at all, and from his facebook posts that arent chess related, he seems like a cool person.

Is that a4? I'm confused. Kidding that would piss him off. Wonder if it would work

He'd probably forfeit after the crotch toe-fondling.
Indeed once I played him in a simul... What do you think?

Why not play an opening that nobody knows?
Did anybody except for me notice incantevoleutopia's post? I fell off the chair laughing (although admittedly alcohol kinda helped me there).
