Nothing unusual about this one. They shook hands to agree on the result of the game and even toppled the black king. Ha! Nothing to see here, just trolling.
justus williams beat magnus

It looked like a five minute game - there are clocks.
It is a fine achievement for the young man. That we will hear more of him in time seems clear. There must be very good coaches in New York.
To burden him with "the next Bobby Fischer" tag would be unkind.
Nope, look again.

I bet johnyoudell looked here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aL9bS9B7dc -- different game.

Yes clearly this is far more definitive evidence than all the other games Carlsen has ever played. We should just go ahead and hand this dude I've never heard of the WC title.

No, he must play Anand for the title, that is only fair. We'll just skip the Candidate tournament, he beat the supposed winner of it anyway. Somebody tell the others, I'm sure they will be disappointed but understand. Carlsen might write a letter to FIDE in protest however... :p

Sarcasm
Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt",[1] usually conveyed through irony or understatement.[2] Most authorities distinguish sarcasm from irony;[3] however, others argue that sarcasm may or often does involve irony[4] or employs ambivalence.[5]

Oh I love this game! Here is mine;
com·pre·hen·sion [kom-pri-hen-shuhn] Show IPA
noun

Williams fide rating is 2206. If Carlsen had a uscf rating it would be 2950-2980. I've sometimes lost to complete beginners after I'm so bored of playing a string of them just to be polite. Goof off unimportant games happen all the time.

When Carlsen was Williams age he was around 2600. Not uscf but fide, those are the only two ratings you can compare

But Williams has a fide rating because he does play fide tournaments all the time. He and his team get full time training, grandmaster coaching, funds to travel around the world and play in all the strongest tournaments. Just look up the tournament results. He gets around, as does the rest of the team he's on. Having an international rating is old stuff to these kids. They've been there and done that for years. His fide rating is accurate, look at the tournament results.

And if you don't go by fide ratings then Carlsen and 96 or 97 others of the top 100 are all unrated.

So, I can't help but wonder. Do you consider yourself a better player than those you beat that you just listed?

Another thing. Why only 40 something seconds at the end? Was it an odds game, rook or Knight odds?Come on, be serious. Sure is odd its only the end of it. You'd think if Carlsen was playing, wow, gotta get this whole game. Unless you didn't want people
to see the whole game. Hmmm........ the camera was there THE WHOLE TIME or many others were but it was only important to film just the end. Odd. Hmmm.....

Even if u dont go by fide rtngs. the rest of the world does. USCF and NCFP r the only other ratings i have heard of. we have to travel to. Its no diff.
