A fast rising 16-year-old Magnus Carlsen was already among the world’s elite chess players. At the Arctic Chess Challenge tournament, held in April of 2007 in Tromsø, Norway, Magnus was paired up against none other than his Dad, Henrik Carlsen. Both Magnus and Henrik entered their Round 6 match-up with 3.5 tournament points. Magnus, a Grandmaster rated about 2700, was a massive favorite over his father Henrik, rated 2089. As if the 600 point rating gap weren’t difficult enough to overcome, Papa Bear would also be saddled with the black pieces.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
