HOLY SMOKES! I just learned about this kid! check out his record in The current Corus championship right here: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=63521&crosstable=1

 He's only 17 but right now hes ahead of anand, kramnik, and the other top players of the world! What a prodigy. I am trully in awe that our species is capable of producing such rare and fascinating people.

 This was worth a good laugh. This is about the strangest thing imaginable to say about someone like Magnus.

 

I agree that he is quite amazing, and I hope that he will take the game of chess further than it has ever gone before.

yep, he's good...Probably the best in the world for his age, maybe even comparable to fischer, though now we will never know.

I remember looking at some of his games when he played in the Corus C Group: http://www.tatasteelchess.com/archive/tournament?id=67&type=standings&group=3
