Being a 4-time World Champion at just 30, Magnus Carlsen is already a chess legend. However, not satisfied yet, the talented Mozart is en route to becoming the greatest chess player of all time. Ever since he ranked No. 1 in 2010, he has only delivered his best.

Significantly, achieving the highest peak classical rating of 2882 leaps him forward in front of most legends in the game, like Garry Kasparov. Yet to drop a World title since 2013, NBA star Klay Thompson wished him good luck ahead of the Championships.

Klay Thompson wishes Magnus Carlsen

The Championship is held in Dubai, where Carlsen will look to dominate again. Before the big day, he posted a picture of him, shooting baskets, on Instagram. Commenting on his post, NBA shooting guard Klay Thompson, sent Carlsen his best wishes. He said, “Magnus making it rain love to see it.” With Carlsen looking to win his fifth world title, Thompson encouraged the chess master to perform well.

Moreover, Carlsen will face Russia’s Ian Nepomniatchi to determine the winner of the competition. As for Thompson, he is currently on the road to recovery. After injuring his knee during the 2019 playoffs, Klay has been absent for some time now. However, given his caliber, he will surely get back to his very best for the Golden State Warriors soon.

Carlsen- The Wonderboy

Ever since he reached the top, he has consistently dominated the game. Notably, at 19, he became the youngest No. 1 in the sport’s history. Known for his aggressive style on the chessboard, he causes trouble for opponents while positioning his chess pieces to perfection.

Talking about his chances for the tournament, Carlsen spoke about his approach.

“I predict that the person who scores the most points over the next three weeks is going to be the winner, and hopefully that’s going to be me. And if I do win it will probably be because I made a lot of good moves and good decisions under pressure,” said Carlsen.

Maintaining arrogance but being predictably untouchable, Carlsen is the favorite heading into the tournament. What are your predictions for the champion?
