Look Sports is never interesting when there is a dominant figure. Who wants to watch when we all already know who will win. Here are examples of what makes sports interesting:
Boxing : Ali vs Norton, Joe Frazier. Mike Tyson vs Holyfield.
Basketball : LA Lakers vs Boston Celtics.
Tennis : Connors vs Mc Enroe, Christ Evert vs Navratilova, Monica Sels vs Steffi Graf, Nadal vs Federer.
Chess : Fischer vs Spassky, Karpov vs Kasparov.
Soccer : Arsenal vs Manchester United, Arsenal vs Totenham Hotspur, Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Juventus vs AC Milan, AC Milan vs Inter Milan.
etc. etc.
So, you guys are making chess boring. STOP MAKING CHESS a BORING GAME! There are Kamsky, Kramnik, Caruana, Nakamura, Wei Yi, Aronian that will make chess an exciting game.

Yeah. Just look how much Tiger Woods has cost Professional Golf!
Superstars just wreck sports.
Nah. Tiger ruined his brand. Not golf. There are alotta other stars in golf ta make up for the lack of celebrity!
But my opinion? Carlsen is way stronger than Kramnik.

I bet once the Iron Curtain fell, the Norweigans finally got their hands on some of the KGB's secret mind control data. I think they covertly trained Carlsen from his youth, to use mind control tactics on his opponent's and now he crushes them all.
I bet this how all of the Soviet players dominated, until the CIA intercepted how to defense against it and the US State Department, secretly implanted Bobby Fischer's skull with a special plate to block his frontal lobes from such manipulation. That is what drove him nuts and he was p!$$#d that they never paid him for it either....
Nice theory ;-) Sadly, you make more sense than some posters here.
It even explains why US chess fell off of the face of the Earth internationally afterward. No one else was willing to have the surgery, after they saw how Bobby wigged out. I don't blame them. Now that the Soviets are no longer and that secret was hidden away in the Norwegian laboritories, most of the world is safe.
I still can't believe people didn't realize why no one offered Fischer assylum, except for the Icelandic people. It was a cover to get Fischer close to Magnus, at a young age, to test new imporvements that were made. The Icelandic descend from Norwegians and were happy to cover for them. Sadly though, one chess legend died in the process, while the other was born.
carlsen is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

Kramnik isn't even in the 2800 club anymore. Apparently, Aronian and Carlsen felt he was no longer cool enough, and kicked him out.
A recent interview posted on chess news (here at chess.com) "Kramnik-I am not a Genius" is very interesting. I indeed got the vibe that he was preparing himself for "live after chess"...based on how he kept mentioning his family time being of utmost importance. He even stated that chess is not the most important thing in life (if I got that quote right). A must read for everyone.

There are certain types of positions that Kramnik plays better than Carlsen, and Kramnik's opening preparation is still the best in the world. But yeah, Carlsen is the better player. Still, I would love to see a match between those two. I think Kramnik has the best chance of anyone to beat Carlsen in a match.

I will say this. Although Kramnik is a great player, Magnus is the greatest player since Bobby Fischer. He is a lot younger and has more drive in his power attacks and his opening repetoire. He can defend tough positions and he can break them down just as easily. He is relentless and he is like a brick wall. What Magnus also is though is cocky. He is also arrogant and sometimes can over confident but I feel that many chess players are. I myself can be a bit arrogant and cocky at times in my chess games. In a blitz game of chess between him and alexandra kosteniuk, when she made a very good move in the endgame, he moved a piece and tried to move it back once he let go. She stopped the clock to get a TD and when she did, he got up, scowled at her and walked out of the room without so much as a good game. He can be a bit rude sometimes. I think fame tends to go into the heads of many successful people including chess players. I'm not saying Magnus is rude but he can be sometimes. I am a huge fan of his and I admire his strength and vigor. Just thought I should give my opinion.
Have Kramnik face Carlsen in 10 rounds and Carlsen will lay the smackdown.
Don't forget about his patented "cheap endgame tricks", and "boring his opponents to death".
