white pieces > black pieces. damn chess is so racist!

[Sanlmar]

I happened to notice "Searching for Bobby Fisher" was running kind of often on TV past couple of days. Maybe this match was why.

Magnus Carlsen another loose aggressive Scandinavian player.

Love these genius stories.

I remember the 60 Minutes piece.

5th game goes to magnus, finally one doesn't end in a draw

[GrenadaRoger]

All but over now, Carlsen wins when Anand blundered late in game 9

[sonatine]

At the risk of recycling cliches, did bullet chess basically destroy Nakamuras competitive edge?

[Sanlmar]

All but over now, Carlsen wins when Anand blundered late in game 9

They credit Magnus's youth and physical conditioning as a big edge.

Same chatter you hear at WSOP. No room for over 30 crowd.

Pretty sure him being Norwegian is the biggest factor
