Crazychessplaya

Agdestein.

second? what is that

MrDamonSmith

Emory Tate should be. Hahahahahahahaha. He could bring him coffee and make his bed and stuff like that. Definately nothing chess related, Magnus was 2300 level when he was about 11 or 12.

Jonny Hector: then we'd see some hard core opening preparation.

a second is an assistant that helps you and stuff

The backyard professor. He may be busy with Anand though.

He drowned in a lake, so I don't think that would work.

Sad, sorry to hear that. If I was ever in the US I would have tried to find him at that beach and play him.

OK. Since I have suggested a dead person without knowing it as a second for Magnus, there is only one alternative of equal quality. He takes no nonsense. His decisions are final.

Won't Kasparov help? Or is he and carlsens relationship too strained?

LoekBergman

Jan Smeets, because he is very good with computer analysis and was a secondant for Topalov in his match against Anand.

Anish Giri. I think he understands the psychology of his opponents very well.

Yea, he could teach Magnus how to play against the Fried Liver.

If I had my pick of any, I'd take Kramnik or Ivanchuk....
