Most wins are luck, especially at the highest levels. It's a little known fact of chess that the more you improve, the luckier you get.

I could swear that I learned in another thread that you can do anything you want if you want it enough, so surely you could be consistently really lucky if you wanted it enough and tried hard enough?

Maybe if you tried for 10,000 hours and you really, really wanted it?

It is very clear Carlsen is better than Anand now. One thing is you can look at their established ratings. Also, players won't win by luck in 12 games series. Both Carlsen and Anand are great player. They both are very tough. However, Anand might not know some strategy Carlsen attempts.

it is true though chess is alot about luck, unless of course u calculate EVERYTHING, which even houdini doesnt do.

Nice quote. I bet Carlsen would own in 960 chess.

Avatar of MrDamonSmith

That's funny. That must be a joke by that poster. He was using games from when Magnus was 9. Heh, heh.
