Although of course he is tactically quite allright, his fighting spirit to me seems more an ability 'to press water from a stone' compared to Kasparov's direct search for the king or for tactically crushing the opponent. The difference is firstly that Carlsen right now is good enough to end in the top-3 of almost any tournament and is (rightly) praised for it, while with Kasparov it felt like a loss when he ever was nr. 2. Secondly, playing 90-move games may wear down your opponents, but in the end it will wear down yourself. You will end up playing more and more draws. Collecting stamps or selling cars may get more interesting. Kasparov can just add some extra spice. It may be interesting to see whether this cooperation will lead to a change of style for Carlsen.

I do not really foresee the efects of that cocktail. Well, with the right measurements of the ingredients it might be explosive. I just hope Magnus will keep his attitude as a free, indendently thinking youngster from the free Nordic countries. These species are still around, I can witness on that, even though they seem to be a diminishing race. My bet is that this collaboration will only work for a few years. Let`s just ee.
