Magnus Carlsen on 60 minutes

[Barfunk]

The #1 rated chess player in the world, 21 year old prodigy Magnus Carlsen, is going to be interviewed on 60 minutes at 6:00 p.m. Don't know if anyone here is interested in that kind of stuff but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Host: So what's your favorite chess move Maggy?


Maggy: Well, there's obviously the Averbakh - Spassky, Leningrad 1956 game

obviously russians are the best at chess because theyre masters at using pawns

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Saw it mostly by accident, since golf pushed TAR back 20 minutes. Can't say I care much about chess but I was impressed. For those who didn't see there's a part where they show the guy playing ten games at once with his back to all of them, tracking ten simultaneous games all by memory. Kind of freaky to see that.
