I think that's an interesting article about some recent chess politics. Karpov would probably be well suited for the job, but instead there is this kind of crazy dictator that's been given the job because the Russian government needs to find ways to occupy his time so he can't do too much damage to actual politics. | ||

nvm another interview says differently SPIEGEL: For a year now you have been working with Garry Kasparov, who is probably the best chess player of all time. What form does your cooperation take? Kasparov is the teacher, you the pupil? Carlsen: No. In terms of our playing skills we are not that far apart. There are many things I am better at than he is. And vice versa. Kasparov can calculate more alternatives, whereas my intuition is better. I immediately know how to rate a situation and what plan is necessary. I am clearly superior to him in that respect. SPIEGEL: How is he useful to you? Carlsen: He still has loads of unused ideas for openings. And the fact that he has played against most of my opponents himself is invaluable. He senses what mood they are in, how they will open the game. I can’t do that. SPIEGEL: How long do you want to work with him? Carlsen: The cooperation has now entered its next natural stage. We reached our goal of becoming the number one considerably ahead of schedule.With that a major goal had been reached. We decided that in the future I should be responsible for all career decisions, without constant guidance from Garry, before and during events. SPIEGEL: You split up? Carlsen: No. We remain in contact and I have the opportunity to confer with Garry regularly. I will also attend training sessions with him. I want to stress: the last 12 months have been of immense value to me, and I continue to listen to Garry‘s advice. | ||

Carlsen mentioned that he doesn't want to keep up with the constant stress aside from the board. Carlsen on working with Kasparov | ||

It seems as though he’s simply sharing his opinion with you, but in actual fact he’s dictating how you should act… That's why I'm not sure whether I could support Kasparov running for fide president. He's always impulsive, with strong opinions and he constantly hops between various pet projects and activities. Karpov seemed like the more stable personality to me, I wonder if he's going to run again. | ||
