An amazing kid or shall I say a young man :D
Cheers,

P.S.I think that this guy should play Anand for the world champion and not Topalov....

Maybe he should consider donating his brains for studies afterward...

I heard something about he is going to be Anand's second in the match. obviously he could play the match himself but shows some good sport and respect for the existing players if he is indeed participating in this way.

No, that was a misquote that turned into a rumor. Carlsen is not going to be working as Anand's second.

Well, or they are negating the rumour to keep the agreement in secret :) In the war you never know.

Anand might be a future rival of Carlsen, so I highly doubt he would be a second as that simply reveals way too much. The misquote that was mentioned was actually a simple mistake by a clueless reporter.
