How Strong Was 13 Year Old Magnus Carlsen?

Magnus Carlsen became a GrandMaster (GM) at the age of 13 in April 26th, 2004 and he is the current world chess champion and regarded as one of the greatest chess players of all time.....Magnus Carlsen by the time of 2003 was an International Master(IM) and in the next year he became a GrandMaster (GM)

We are going to have a walkthrough and analysis of some chess games played by Carlsen when he was 13 years old

the 1st game we will be looking at is a game played in the Dubai Open 2004 

and here Deepan resigned here as Carlsen's Attack is getting much stronger and his king is in the very open for very deadly attacks and Carlsen had secured the perimeter and is using full force for a powerful attack to the open king

This is the accuracy of the above game

This game is just remarkable ,Magnus Carlsen was 99% accurate according to the analysis and Deepan Chakkravarthy with a 88% accuracy lost the game....... It was a sudden game just lost by a mistake by Deepan Chakkravarthy......It is hard to defend from here specially with an extremely strong opponent like Magnus Carlsen the computer shows a +5 in the last move which means even though Carlsen and Deepan both have the equal number of captures, the positional advantage of Carlsen is equal to a rook lost by Deepan in the position (although technically the material is equal)

the 2nd game We are going to look through is a draw......but with whom did he draw? One of the greatest or perhaps the greatest chess player of all time, Garry Kasparov the game took place in Reykjavik Rapid

here the position is very equal and even in the engine after the last move the position was 0.00 which means neither of them are even slightly better in the position well the draw by agreement was actually perfect....because of the 0.00 shown by the engine 😂😆 which means it is going to end up a draw even after playing unless someone really blunders in the position but we are talking about Carlsen and Kasparov 2 of the all time greats...

The accuracy of the above game according to the analysis

seems suspicious right? i think both of them used engines to play the game....lol just kidding they are just extremely strong players in human point of view and of course would een destroy machines in their games......this can officially be the most perfect draw by agreement of all time...😂 accuracies are same and even in the endgame the position was 0.00 in moment they drew...

moving on to the next and final game we are going to watch of 13 year old Magnus Carlsen is another game from the Dubai Open 2004 where Carlsen crushes his opponent

the position where Ganguly resigned here , Carlsen's position is shown as +5 (means the position is as great as Carlsen being up a rook which is a winning position) here the pawns of black are going to go off the board soon and Carlsen will end up in a easy winning position

Accuracies of the game between Magnus Carlsen and Surya Shekhar Ganguly

It was an Intense game but 13 year old Carlsen managed to convert it to a simply winning endgame position and that is how strong 13 year old Magnus was......

that's it folks i hope you got something out of the games played by 13 year old magnus carlsen and if you have any questions regarding any game or anything else feel free to leave a comment : ) peace
