Mesteren

Arne Danielsen

Magnus Carlsen is only twentythree years old, but nonetheless, of all 21st century Norwegians, he has advanced to the most important position in a sport. On the 1st January 2010, he rose to the top of the world rankings in chess as the youngest player in recorded history. This book describes his journey to the top, without detailed accounts or diagrams of games. Instead, the readers are invited to follow Magnus Carlsen's remarkable career and given some understanding of his almost incomprehensible feat.
