Shame CBS showed lack of knowledge Magnus is good but NOT the best as world #1 and WCF World Champion is Stan Vaughan (www.wcfchess.com) who also recently set world blindfold Guinness record with 110 blindfold simultaneous wins on Feb 5-7, 2012 in Las Vegas.

Najdorf can play 50 simul blindfold. He is a prodigy. But lets not over play that.

Great kid with super great parents that's why Magnum is humble and smart boy !!!
This is the kind of child that any parents hope for , Magnum has inspired me to raise my son Solomon looking him as example of extraordinary not just one of the smartest human of our time but as the same time very respectful and well grounded young boy.
Magnum Carlsen God bless you always and your family too !!!
We need people like you to inspire our young generation
