He's only 19 and already the #1 player in chess.


SPIEGEL: Do you go out for a drink at night too sometimes?
Carlsen: Rarely. I prefer to chat with friends on the Internet or play poker online.

SPIEGEL: For money?
Carlsen: Of course. For what else?

SPIEGEL: Do you win?
Carlsen: If I take a game seriously, I do. If not, I sometimes lose. But that doesn’t matter. What is important is that I have a life beyond chess.

Wonder what his sns are...

next durrrr imo.

What's more interesting, I think, is that he listens to Lil' Jon to prepare for a match.

He is the greatest

Isil ?

IMO the chances of Carlsen beating Durrr in NLHU are infinitely greater than that of Durrr beating Carlsen in chess.

There is 0% chance of durrrr EVER beating Carlsen in chess. But since poker is a game with luck involved and Carlsen is smart, he can book a winning session for sure.

obv?

OK! at 1/2c stakes maybe, at stakes where durrrr plays on daily basis, never.

Durrr could definitely slaughter him at chess with Rook odds

hahahahaha wp

yea, that prop bet he lost to a master level player who gave rook odds was meta game to suck Carlsen in for a milli

Best player ever
