Crowned Carlsen

Magnus Carlsen, the Norwegian Prodigy has ascended the throne.

The new FIDE ranking released had confirmed that Magnus Carlsen, of Norwegian descent had ascended the throne of world number one.

He had been a sensational prodigy right from the start, but that he had achieved this before the age of twenty is remarkably astounding.

A factor which propelled him to the top of the world is his highly acclaimed performance at the Pearl Spring Tournament at Nanjing, China, which spanned september and october last year.

Apparently he had been training with Kasparov, which is quite a brow raiser.

Will update on this prodigal world champion again... we'll certainly see more of him.
