Carlsen broke 2800 at 18 yrs and 11 months. No one beats that.
being there first is not a guarantee of greatness some can be late bloomers i believe
Wesley So's standing improved a lot. I think there is a chance in the near future.
In a serious 10 game match Carlsen wrecks him 7-3
So goooooood

No,
Magnus is a special talent like Morphy, Capablanca,Fischer,Alekhine.
Players like that are the musical equiviliant of Bach, Mozart,Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky,Haydan one of a kind.
Wait, so six people are one of a kind?
So, back to the question.
I think Carlsen would win.
you people stray too much from reality. Before you even surmise that Wesley So can beat Carlsen in a match play - see and think. Wesley needs to get to a respectable ELO rating before he can handle Carlsen. That's just the way things go in chess - maturity at the game is a requisite to greatness.Just because Wesley became a GM at 4 years old doesn't mean he can lick anyone. I am amazed at how some of you can outrightly declare that So is better than Carlsen - lacks common sense IMO.
I like him. It will be nice for him to take over the US #1 spot from Nakamura. So is, by all accounts, a nice and humble man. Just the type of person that should be representing us to the world.
He's also better looking than Carlsen, so he'd make a much better champion for that reason alone. He probably needs to get on the top-level tournament circuit soon if he wants to have any chance at being a real contender. I assume he's waiting until he completes college.
I have to give credit to the OP, your bizarre title made me click on this thread.

Or, possibly, Karlsson-on-the-Roof (by A. Lindgren):
No. Right now, Carlsen will defeat him in a match. If Wesley wins Tata Steel or a major tournament ahead of Carlsen, Kramnik, Anand, Aronian and Caruana, then I would say he can beat Carlsen in a match and become world champion. But his goal of reaching 2800 is possible. I like the fact that he continues to play in open tournaments because it shows that he is not afraid to lose elo points.
Darn, I didn't think this was a superking thread because superking rarely ever puts a question mark behind his questions. Looks like I was wrong.
Betteridge's law of headlines: whenever there is a question mark at the end of a headline, the answer is no.
