I wonder what would happen if Kasparov did this. :)

that's true, but also it will boost Magnus Carlsen's popularity. Do you have the Levon Aronian App? or the Hikaru Nakamura app? or the vladamir kramnik app? no! this was a really good idea by Magnus i think

Yes! I heard Magnus was short of a few Bucks! so the app should help him out! 

Not the ARB troll - again...

Kasparov had a Chess program for the PC.

He also had a website similar to Chess.com for a while.

The PC program was called (((Kasparov Chessmate))).

The website I think was called (((Kasparov Chess))). It's been a long time so I could be wrong about the name of the web site. It's no longer in existence. Maybe somebody else remembers.

Actually off-topic, but still.

Yeah, Naka answered my question on Reddit_AMA (ask me anything), here it is:

basically you asked: "what where you thinking when you moved d6?" Tongue Out

I hope this really catches on, so all the MagMax fans will have something to do with their time other than posting an unending slew of Magnus Carlsen threads here.

Works great on my iPad, appears to have a number of free videos and quite a number of 99 cent videos for sale.

Seems like a pretty good app to me.  Beating down on the 5-year-old Carlsen made me feel better about myself, but I'm getting my ass wupped by the 10-year-old ...  :-D

iMacChess

I beat the 10-year-old, but that 11-year-old I can only draw.

Does anybody know the rating of each age group?

He looks more like Jackie Chan in that.

I drew age 12.....I don't know what rating level he was then though, still he beat Karpov at 13 so it's not that bad!

I think the real person played better than the app, guess he can beat the app at any age
