If you realy care about chess

this is important part of history :

carlsen 'team' bought the domain 'www.sergeykaryakin.com' to redirect to magnuscarlsen site . WHAT A MOVEEE

and this is a part an interview that his opponent naively,for me, explain perfectly why carlsen is and will be the best ever.:

Samokhvalov: Carlsen is known for his killer instinct.
Karjakin: Yes, that’s definitely the case.

Are you ready to take on that killer?

Why not? I’ve also got that instinct. You know what the difference is?

What?

For me that killer instinct is only in chess, while for him it’s in life.

Really?

Yes, he behaves as if he wants to win in all sports that he plays, in football, cards or whatever. When he loses he gets mad. In my view I’ve got a preferable form of that killer instinct, because I try to win where it’s important, while he does regardless of whether it’s important or not.

You don’t like to win at cards?

That’s funny. I simply don’t play those games, but football or tennis… I want to win, but at the end of the day it’s not so important for me.

But what’s more important than hitting the back of the other team’s net? An incisive pass?

In football what interests me is enjoying myself and improving my physical shape.

-interview continues on another site...

for me its clear why carlsen is way , way beyound, in everything indeed

and guys, guys.. sorry but you understand the importance of this match? TWO YOUNG guys fighting theirs minds and egos, in the best strategic battle ever ??? and not only that... i dont want to start this kind of discussion, but, with the tools avaible, maybe two of the bests ever at a chess board....
