I don't think so. For Bobby Fischer, chess was his life. It's quite different for Magnus. He has an apparent girlfriend, runs his own company, and often plays sports. They are actually quite the opposite in some ways.

I don't know, but I've heard Magnus likes to have round banana slices on his pancakes for breakfast. The slices must be 30 millimeters length or he goes crazy.

Monie49

A "round slice" has a length?

Bobby was already an "odd" character as a teenager and spoke with no mercy about opponents, getting into their minds, claiming the Russians were conspiring to keep him from becoming World Champ (more than a little truth there), etc.

Carlsen isn't likely to display such awful manners like Bobby.

@MuensterChess

Who is Magnus's girl friend?

I don't know, but I heard his middle sister Ingrid, used to tie his shoes together and give him wedgies. So yeah, those traumatic events are taking a toll it seems.

Fischer had the same human traits as anyone else, he just had certain traits in more abundance. Carlsen still appears to be going through puberty, give him time.

dude, fischer reveales that the russians were fixing matches...wake up, neo!

Nah, Carlsen has caring people around him and he seems to be social, he won´t become crazy. But he might quit his career earlier than expected, maybe after he loses the WC title or something.

No!

Carlsen has ladies, Fischer hadnt. ANSWER IS NO.

Fischer was superior tho, you cant be a real world chess champion if your life isnt dramatic since you were born and suffer from mental disease.

GM_chess_player

yes

I don't know, but I heard he likes to read Dennis the menace comics in lonely libraries in Iceland, I don't know.

Maggie is just not spaghetti western material like Fischer was, he may be the next crazy tellytubby.

Barbra Streisand had a major crush on Fischer when they were classmates at Erasmus High, and Neil Diamond was there too! 

Fischer had more than enough girlfriends btw.

 

A lot of girls liked him but he was too mentally ill to the point he declined the services of a young lady at Iceland. I SAW IT IN THE MOVIE.

PAWN SACRIFICE?  That film was a complete ball of exaggerations.
