I really enjoyed watching this last game. Carlsen is very creative on the board.

Grats to Carlsen, probably means that no amount of lol FIDE will prevent the actual #1 being the WC for the foreseeable future

Manager Espen Agdestein says Carlsen celebrated his title by staying in his room playing poker late into the night

Magnus may be world champion, but I am still better than him at successfully tucking in my shirt.

cool sports podcast that talks about the mental aspect of sports, games and chess. WGM Jennifer Shahade comes in at the 29-minute mark talking about Magnus' win and what it means for the game:

Over the past 12 months (from the London Classic through the WCC), Carlsen is 29-4-36, or 47 points in 69 games.

Unless I'm using the calculator incorrectly (quite possible), if his opponent's average rating was 2720 (conservative, I would guess), that's a performance rating of 3095. A 2740 average gives a performance rating of 3115. That's simply staggering.

29-4-36 is pretty lol. Such a beast.

Average opponent rating over those 69 games is 2757.3 fwiw. Again, lol.

Wow. Well in November and December 2012 he had a 2848 rating, so I would assume he's gained roughly 24 ELO points off of that performance. Obviously there's some trailing off as the gap increases, but another year like this one could presumably put him in in the 2890's?
