Luke McShane, an English grandmaster, got to live out the chess version of such a dream last week at the London Chess Classic, where he soundly defeated Magnus Carlsen, the world’s No.1 chess player, in the first round. McShane, 26, is on the outskirts of the game’s elite, ranked No. 100 in the world. But when he was a boy, he was anointed as England’s next great chess prodigy. He won the under-10 world championship when he was 8 and became a grandmaster by 16 — the youngest, at the time, to ever do so in his homeland. He has not achieved what has been expected of him. Maybe he was not as talented as ... |

I think it will get more attention ——— Interview with Magnus Carlsen — The world's best chess player on modelling for G-Star Raw, psychological ploys, and why he's not big on Christmas. Q: Hello Magnus ... MC: Hello Small Talk. Q: How does it feel to be back for the London Chess Classic? MC: It feels good. Last year's tournament was really enjoyable and very successful for me too. Q: The Russian world champion Mikhail Botvinnik used to get training partners to deliberately blow smoke in his face to prepare for opponents who may try to unsettle him. Is there anything you do to prepare for psychological tricks or gamesmanship? MC: Thankfully, one cannot smoke at the board now so I don't have to worry about that. I try to focus on the game rather than ... |

But he managed to draw against Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, the former world chess champion, and thus remained in the lead. After three of the four games in each of the first two rounds ended decisively, Friday was relatively quiet, with three games ending in draws. The exception was a win by Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, over Magnus Carlsen of Norway. It was the second loss for Carlsen, who actually had an advantage early in the game before making two bad moves that allowed Anand to shatter his kingside pawns and then infiltrate with his queen and rook. Carlsen could ... |
