Legendary Chess Player Garry Kasparov Thinks Magnus Carlsen Is a Lethal Combination of Fischer and Karpov
Follow Us
Magnus Carlsen and Garry Kasparov are two Grand Masters who have shaped the course of chess in their times. To simply question who is better out of the two will be an indignity to the contribution made by them towards the game of chess. However, as a mentor, Garry has always spoken great things about Carlsen.
In their first encounter, the 13-year-old Magnus Carlsen managed a draw against the world’s number one chess player, Garry Kasparov. However, instead of holding a grudge against the 28-year younger Carlsen, the Russian Grand Master started coaching him. Perhaps he realized early that the Norwegian chess prodigy was made for great things.
