Wait, Magnus. Daddy is coming.

Hi, there! Boy, have you been a good hiker today!

See that big mountain over there?

And now Magnus.

Now Magnus.

I don't do much serious work on my own.

The neighbors have started arguing.

And they show no mercy.

I often make decisions based on intuition.

My intuition is often based on -

- a sense that something is there.

I think that I probably -

- sacrifice a lot of pawns due to intuition.

We have the pleasure of presenting, in joint first place, -

- 13-year-old Magnus Carlsen!

a4.

- Bishop to f5. - Knight to d2.

Wow. Knight to f4.

You sure about that?

- That's where I am. g takes f4. - Knight takes f4.

Queen to g3.

b5. Check.

Mate!

It felt like my world collapsed.

I got really depressed.

I just got very angry.

I had a horrible night's sleep.

There's this gang.

They're really tough.

People are scared to walk by them.

They...

They bully me as much as they can.

I've sort of become an outsider -

- because I'm very different from the rest of the class.

It's hard to be cool when I play chess.

Dad, stop that!

- We can make our own cards. - Sure.

My sisters mean a lot to me.

They are important to me.

We play together.

And fool around.

Not that one!

It will be fun to meet Kasparov.

- Maybe you can beat him. - I hope so.

I don't have much to lose.

It was quite a positive experience.

I felt that I...

That I could fight as good as him.

Dad said Magnus was in a good position in the first game.

That made me happy. I hoped Magnus would win.

Dad didn't really know. He always sees ghosts.

I'm usually right about such things.

It's easy to see when you're in a good position.

You can say that.

I hope to become World Chess Champion.

But we'll have to wait until the time comes.

I'm doing everything I can.

- 13-year-old Carlsen... - A chess sensation...

This is a new arena for Magnus Carlsen, and no one...

He's a magician.

14-year-old Magnus Carlsen...

- Magnus is a popular subject. - 15-year-old Magnus Carlsen!

Damn!

Board 8, c4.

Queen takes d2.

Board 8, e5. Board 9, Queen h5.

Board 1, Queen takes h8. Board 10, Rook takes e6.

Board 5, Queen d2. Board 7, a3.

Board 6, Queen e5, mate.

Check mate.

Check mate.

Mate. And mate.

Move your legs over there.

You're still...

Next week is Magnus Carlsen's most important tournament yet.

Magnus Carlsen has won everything but the World Championship.

He has three tough weeks ahead of him.

I lost so much there.

Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.

But Kramnik lost, so I won anyway.

I am completely exhausted. I have nothing left to give.

Which should be the case after a tournament.

World champion Vishwanathan Anand and Norwegian Magnus Carlsen...

He will meet Vishy Anand in India.

In Anand's hometown, Chennai.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Yours!

Come on.

Why do I do that?

Brilliant. I didn't understand that.

I was considering g6-e5.

But that's hopeless.

- Everyone is so strict! - What do you mean by strict?

Typical big sister:

"Everyone does as I say, hey!"

Idiot!

I asked what was trump. I thought you bid a grand slam.

- Christ! - Magnus had lousy cards.

- Dad! - She's the one I'm after!

Donald Duck wanted to cure world hunger:

"Hey, but that's the Sleeping Beauty symbol!"

Hi, Magnus. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

- Thank her. - Thank you very much.

- I'm not totally pleased with today. - It doesn't matter.

Sure, but I am a chess player.

I could have played a Queen endgame, with the King on d4.

I analyzed Bishop to h5 forever, but then I just thought...

What's written here? "World Champion"!

I don't believe you!

Time for some food!

We can share it all, family style.

Fischer-Taimanov, Vancouver 1971?

Correct.

This reeks of Botvinnik-Capablanca.

Are we talking Rubinstein-Lasker?

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave.

Carlsen-Blomqvist, Iceland 2001. You are so predictable!
