So Who's The Leading Teenager Now?
Magnus Carlsen turned 20 today, so I guess that leaves teendom in the very impressive hands of Fabiano Caruana. (Send him back!)
Incidentally, about Magnus Carlsen, I guess it's popular in Russian circles to call him "the kid", on account of some Swedish stories that have been translated and turned into a cartoon serial in Russian. This seems to me much ado about extremely little, as neither the nickname, the stories nor the cartoon have featured in any of the English language chess material I've seen on the young Norwegian, but it may have a strong resonance for some of you, especially Scandinavians and Russian-speakers. If so, or if you want to while away a few minutes watching cartoons, have a look here.
