22-Year-Old Norwegian Magnus Carlsen Is the New World Chess Champion

ardmhacha writes "Magnus Carlsen was able to force a draw in the 10th game of the World Chess Championship to claim the title with a 6.5 — 3.5 score (3 wins, 0 losses, 7 draws) over Viswanathan Anand. Carlsen became the youngest ever World No. 1 in 2010, but withdrew from the 2012 championship cycle and so has only now been able to add the World Champion title to his No. 1 ranking. He won three games and lost none. His first two victories came when he was able to convert small advantages in the endgame into wins. The third (in game 9) came after a blunder from Anand."

OK, dude-bro, aside from the fact this is OT, you're obviously just C&P-ing the same rant over and over into each new thread. It's weak, shows a distinct lack of care about the topic you're ranting about, and honestly, you're boring us.

Feel free to keep up with the OT rants (they'll be modded into oblivion every time, anyway, so it's not like you're doing anything useful), but at least try to be a bit more creative with them, huh?

Google must be Quake-ing in their boots!

Is it wrong that I miss the GNAA posts vs these?
