IS CARLSEN AFRAID OF CHALLENGING THE GREAT KASPAROV

What would it be after a long period of 9 years..

You're passionate_fighter or whatever the name was aren't you?

Stop with the crap threads.

I'd say Magnus Carlsen is capable of defeating Kasparov (given that he is now the highest rated player of all time), so no he's not scared at all.

Its just the Great Kasparov kind of retired from chess so I wouldn't think the encounter will happen.

Players don't 'challenge' each other anymore, thats why FIDE took over organising chess so that the World Champion couldn't just pick whoever he wanted to play....There were a lot more interesting feuds and libellous attacks in the press back in the old days though

@Vease u are so ryt ! I wish i was there when thoz great playerz challenged each other! Not now its boring!

Carlsen would still win

However, I would really like to know whether Carlsen will go for the World Championship title this time.
