The Mozart of Chess: Magnus Carlsen
Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen is a Norwegian chess master. In November 2013, Carlsen defeated Viswanathan Anand and won the 2013 World Championship, so he became the World Chess Champion, and in December 2014 he managed to defend his title by beating Anand in the 2014 World Chess Championship match. There were unforgettable series of games, and i still remember the look in Anand`s face, even after the game he managed to won. 44 years old chess master was looking so frustrated for loosing his title agains this genius who was almost half of his age. Although I am a Carlsen fan, I have to admit that I felt really sorry for him.
Carlsen is a very uniqe chess master. We know that Chess masters are special, but this young man managed to impress even the most respected people in this field. In fact, he has beaten Karpov at the age of 13, and the same year he managed to drew against Kasparov. Unlike other high-level chess players, Carlsen does not pay much attention to opening preparations, which always surprise his competitors, who pays more attention to the openings.
Most impressive part is about to come now. He once played his eyes blinded against 3 great chess players and managed to win on all three boards. I really wonder how his brain operates when he plays chess. Here is the the blind challenge of Magnus Carlsen:
If you haven`t seen him playing yet, he will be defending his title in upcoming World Chess Championship next year.

Satrancın Mozart'ı: Magnus Carlsen
Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen Norvecli genc bir satranc ustasi. Kasim 2013'te Carlsen, Hindistanli Viswanathan Anand'i maglup edip 2013 Dunya Satranc Sampiyonasini kazandi ve dunya satranc sampiyonu unvanini kazandi. 2014 yilinda Anand unvanini geri alabilmek icin tekrar masaya oturdu fakat Carlsen unvanini korumayi basardi. Oynadiklari unutulmaz maclari saatlerce Norvec devlet televizyonu NRK'dan canli takip ettim. Anand`in yuzundeki ifadeleri hala unutamiyorum, kazanmayi basardigi tek mactan sonra bile. Yasi ve deneyimi kendisinin yarisi kadar olan bu genc dahiye kaybetmenin getirdigi husran yuzunde okunabiliyordu. Bir Magnus hayrani olmama ragmen, Anand icin uzulmekten kendimi alamamistim bu sampiyona boyunca.
Carlsen cok sira disi bir satranc ustasi. Gerci satranc ustalarinin siradisi insanlar olduklarini biliyoruz, ama bu genc dahi satranc dunyasinin en onde gelen isimlerini bile etkilemeyi basardi. Oyle ki, daha 13 yasinda buyuk ustad Karpov´u yenmeyi basarmis ve ayni yil dunya devi Kasparov karsisinda oynadigi 2 mactan birinde berabere kalmayi basarmisti. Carlsen, diger buyuk satranc ustalarindan farkli olarak, acilis hamlelerine cok fazla ozen gostermeyen bir oyuncu. Bu ozelligiyle surekli rakiperini sasirtip bir ustunluk kurmayi basariyor.
Carlsen ile ilgili en etkileyici bolumu daha soylemedim. Bir keresinde gozeleri kapali bir sekilde 3 iyi satranc oyuncusuna karsi (bu oyunculardan bir Harvard mezunu unlu bir matematikci) oynadi, ve uc satranc tahtasi uzerinde de galip gelmeyi basardi. Satranç oynarken beyninin nasıl çalıştığını gerçekten merak ediyorum bazen. Iste gozleri kapali oynadigi o oyunun videosu:
Onu henuz oynarken izleme firsatini yakalayamadiysanız, onumuzdeki yil gerceklesecek Dunya Satranc Sampiyonasinda unvanini savunmak icin masaya oturacak. Bu firsati kacirmamanizi tavsiye ederim.

I am not the owner of the Youtube video
It is surely in my top 5 chess list!
Above him, in my opinion I put Morphy, Capablanca and Fischer
