A carefully scripted and bland press release announced that the world No1, Magnus Carlsen, would make his own chess career decisions for 2010 and that he and the all-time No1, Garry Kasparov, would cease their regular training sessions launched early last year. The statement claimed that, with 19-year‑old Carlsen established at the world top, his cooperation with Kasparov had achieved its objectives ahead of schedule and that the Norwegian no longer needed constant guidance. Carlsen won his last two chess tournaments in London and Corus Wijk but displayed weaknesses and is as yet far from ... |
