The singer Barbara Striesand admits she had a crush on Bobby Fischer, when they went to high school together.
She never spoke up, though. So nothing happened.
So, 2.57 million people in the entire world consider Carlsen a "celebrity". I bet that figure was one-hundred times higher for Fischer and Kasparov, even back when the world population was much smaller.
Dunno about looks mabbe gals can answer that but his personality is disgusting.
Why do you say that? Can you please amplify your answer for us?
hhhh
The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw carlsen was... "autism".
-Carlsen has been selected one of the sexiest men on the world, but would that happen if he were less famous?
No.
Don't get me wrong, he's not ugly, he's just sort of... normal.
What women find sexy is money + skill + ego 
Without an expensive suit and his title would most women even bother with him? Hmm.
Why does he not have a girlfriend?...maybe he is too busy....
I find strange some people say his looking is "Neanderthal-like", when it's exactly the opposite.

He does have the facial traits normally associated with it, just like Matt Damon.
He looks like a Neanderthal, what with that giant flat forehead and all.. but that doesn't matter - He's still a chess genius.
Lol but did you knew that the Neanderthalis had bigger brains than we Homo sapiens?
My understanding is that surface area, not size of brain is related to intelligence. In neither case would it be determinative- what ultimately matters most is how the cells are connected. An elephant may have more neural mass, but it doesn't seem to have the neural pathways for complex technological society. Probably because they don't have opposable thumbs. Way off topic, but for anyone who cares about elephants, please consider donating to the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee. This organization provides refuge for abused, neglected, or homeless circus and zoo elephants.
There are similarities between Don Knotts and Mick Jagger.
I know Mick Jagger. But this other two Don Knotts and Matt Damon I never heart of. But I do know , de familie Knots , an old TV serie in the Netherlands in the 80ties.
Om this moment Nepo and Wei Yi have a table draw on the board that reminds me of the famous endgame of Timman wich was a win. But there the position was two rows lower.
Kf7 and Kf5 are draw but Kg7 Kg5 loses . Not that simple thus.
