There exists an extremely large group of chess players who are no longer beginners nor, on the other hand, masters or point hunters, but players who aim primarily at deriving an aesthetic satisfaction from the game. For such players an attacking game is more attractive than positional technique and they will continue to attack regardless of risk., for their stormy contest are not going to be noted down in theoretical textbooks.

I think he's a future world champion if he wants it! He's supposed to have a photographic memory. Remarkable kid!

Yes, Magnus is doing really well isn't he. Did you see that interview where he said he started playing chess at 8 (after learning the rules at 5)? That means he's only been playing for 7 years! Amazing.
Still, they say that if you don't make it by your teens then you never are.

I wouldn't be surprised if the kid becomes champion in a few years.
I never knew Cheparinov before this world cup. He is great and practically refuted the Benko (on Chess FM).
