He is indeed a gift for chess, for chess promotion and THE reason why kids keep on playing although they are disadvantaged in this century that our capitalistic energy eating snake oil society has left for them to chew. Smartphones and laptops have scientifically been proven to be a down dragging factor when it comes to concentration, learning and sling data into the long term memory. Things went better but reached their peak. There were bad ass provocateurs like Hunter S. Thompson who cut their piece from what is best. Listen to 'White Rabbit' from Jefferson Airplane and you remember what ''good singing'' is. Listen to Aphex Twin's ''Rhubarb'' and you suddenly know what ''meaning'' and your potential funeral soundtrack is. But let's come back to chess, the game that is supposed to ''never ever'' not get boring, the game with - still infinite possibilities-
The Magic...
There are many candidates who proved to be worth for conquering the chess world. Especially Alireza is genuine, however couldn't reach the top of endurance and pace in slow professional games yet. Besides, he is the youngest talent with serious world class potential, and one in a third of ''no one can reach his bullet skills'', furthermore equipped with bad traps, even in the disadvantaged endgames. He is like Bortnyk making the draw anyway, but with slightly more winning potential. It seems like Alireza is just winning with pure mental persuasion. If there is something what the ordinary can learn from this young adult, it is this manner.
Eventually, time rushes and a combining finishing line has to be drawn for this topic. Fabi made it more than well with ultra precision in the OTB slow game chess, however lacked the tie break, ''bullet kind of'', skills, an occasion where Ali would have been more dangerous, but would never reached the occasion to get there. Now it seems that Nepo is the next challenger, and he has indeed a realistic chance (now that Carlsen gets old, and has so much more to lose than any other concurrent). We are burning for the results!
The final line, is that Carlsen is one of he most special personalities, and probably always will be in the the first century of the 2000+ century. He is the best chess player, I have ever seen.
