		Magnus Carlsen’s rise to the world’s top has been meteoric.
		At the age of 15, he is already ranked 31st in the world, an achievement that is unheard of at this level.
		Today, Magnus Carlsen is the second current youngest grandmaster of the world, since the Indian Parimarjan Negi obtained the supreme title in July 2006 at the age of 13 years, 3 months and 22 days.

	Anand routs Carlsen in semis
		Viswanathan Anand proved too good for teenaged Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen of Norway and scored a thumping 3-1 victory in the second semi-final of the 18th Magistral Ciudad de Leon chess tournament in Leon, Spain.
		Carlsen had backed the Petroff defence in the first game and was in for a surprise as Anand did not employ the in-vogue variation.
		Carlsen restored faith in his new found love for Petroff and was simply outplayed from an innocuous looking position.

		A portrait of Magnus Carlsen by Mathias Berntsen
		Magnus participated in both World and European Youth Championships (age divided groups), and his best result came in Crete, Greece in November 2002 where he finished second with 9 points (he lost on tie-breakers to his arch-nemesis: Ian Nepomniachtchi RUS 2433).
		Magnus’ school work is not neglected at all, but it has to be done in the back seat of a car, in hotel rooms, etc. Both his father and sisters participate in some of the tournaments as well.

		The blitz tournament was a preliminary event leading up to a rapid chess knock out tournament beginning the next day, where Carlsen achieved one draw against Garry Kasparov, who was then the top-rated player in the world, before losing to Kasparov after 32 moves of the second game, thus being knocked out of the tournament.
		Resulting from this he was at the time world's youngest GM and the second youngest person ever to hold GM status, after Sergey Karjakin of Ukraine who attained the feat at 12 years and 7 months of age in 2002.
		Magnus scored 6/8 in the 37th Chess Olympiad in 2006 against opponents averaging 2627 ELO, gaining 18 elo (a rating performance of 2820 points).

		They will study less, play less, and will stick with it because they've come thus far but if the game was the love of their parents and forced down their throats and not their own true love, they will burn out.
		Regardless, Simen did a wonderful job with Magnus and he should be credited with helping to mold the boy into the player he has become.
		Agdestein is probably the closest thing Carlsen has to a coach (there is also Carlsen's parents, of course..), although he is also training with Danish GM Heine Nielsen.

	Hangin takes on Dennis Monokroussos
		Dennis Monokroussos took issue with Siemen Agdestein, Magnus Carlsen’s trainer, comments that Magnus will thump Kasparov in two or three years.
		First, as great as Carlsen is at this age, and as much talent as he clearly has, it's ridiculous to make such a comment comparing an IM and, arguably, the greatest player of all time.
		Magnus is a hot item in Norway at the moment and a bit of publicity cannot harm him.
