Magnus drew against Kasparov.

He did beat Karpov in that tournament

No, he drew on Iceland. It was not a blitz game. His coach then was Simen Agdestein.

They played two rapid games, Carlen drew one and lost the other.

In a blitz tournament used to determine the pairings of the rapid tournament, Carlsen defeated Karpov (the game was not recorded):

Carlsen is much weaker than the great Soviets Karpov and Kasparov. They can destroy him easily in a match even now.

Carlsen Destroyed karpov and would easily crush Kasparov today.

Carlsen was winning in that drawn game, though, but he was down on time.

Thats what he gets for acting all cocky getting up and going to look at other games that had nothing to do with his. He thought he could pull that off in a rapid game against Kasparov. Otherwise he would have probably won and Kasparov would have been humiliated.

It was "Defeat", not "Defeated".

Carlsen stood up while the game was still in the opening theory. Kasparov was spending a lot of time there for some reason so he decided to stretch a bit.

Carlsen vs Kasparov in Reykjavík Iceland 2004

First game was a draw. (Kasparov was black)

In the second game Kasparov destroyed Magnus. (Kasparov was white)

On 17 March, in a blitz chess tournament in Reykjavík, Iceland, Carlsen defeated former World Champion Anatoly Karpov. The blitz tournament was a preliminary event leading up to a rapid knockout tournament beginning the next day. In that event, Carlsen was paired with Garry Kasparov, then the top-rated player in the world. Carlsen achieved a draw in their first game and lost the second one, and was thus knocked out of the tournament.

Kasparov underestimated Carlsen and had not studied his playing style. Carlsen, however, had likely studied intently the games of Kasparov.

He sacrificed his Queen in the "game of the century."

Are we talking about Magnus Carlsen or Bobby Fischer?

(Bobby Fischer play the 'game of the century' when he was 13 by sacrificing his Queen.)

Isn't it amazing how people hear a fact and immediately come up with theories to explain it rather than check to see if it's true?

Not sure if OP is stupid or just a bad troll.

Show us proof that Magnus won against Kasparov, when Magnus was 13.
