Do you know where is Hou Yifan? Maybe she and Magnus are secretly married so that can explain the Norwegian flag .

Yes, that explains everything! That must be it! We have our answer folks.

Djonni I don't think it's Tari. They may be close in standard but in blitz Petrosian is in fact almost 200 points higher.
In stoptryinghard's game chat a week ago the general consensus was that it's not Carlsen. A couple of strong players suggested names who, on further investigation, seem likely candidates but I've forgotten those names...

Tari hasnt fantastic blitzrating yet, but he is only 16 (or 17?) and underrated (because he is improving a lot), Agdestein and Hammer are older and with more stabilized ratings. Rating isnt only strenght, it is also numbers that it takes time to collect.

There are no Norwegians stronger than Magnus and those three, but there are some close to Tari.

why because they are two gender-opposed young good chess players? Life isnt a fairy tale. Grow up.

Why would you think so?

Of course it's not him. Does anyone seriously think he's playing 1000's of Bullet games on here? What does he do for relaxation, goes down to the N.Y.C.C. in disguise and plays a few simuls a week ???  ;)

What do you think of my Hou Yifan theory?

Pure stupidity.

 

Magnus Carlsen is young, rich and successful... he can command an attractive woman.

Bot? No. Someone else? Yes.

It could be a guy pretending to be Magnus. Copying his ICC username who's by a random coincidence very good at chess.

He's obviously a engine user/ bot

Not 100% sure or not sure at all.

just a guess

Don't make accusations here.

stoptryinghard trying to overtake Naka starting from 1000. I'm guessing Naka started from 1200, am I right?

Avatar of nimzomalaysian

stoptryinghard is online right now, if anyone wants to watch him play, go to live chess now.

So here's a guy who currently has a bullet rating of 3003, this rating is still rising at a pretty good pace. His username is stoptryinghard, now we all know that Carlsen's username in ICC is stoptryharding. 

So, is this actually Magnus Carlsen who's playing here? He has played over 1000 bullet games, so allegations of cheating can be ruled out. 

carlsen's username in icc is donottryharding, according to slavenov , stoptryharding is im jules from france
