Magnus Carlsen: A Life in Pictures
Description:
Product Description Magnus Carlsen: A Life in Pictures tells the story of the reigning World Chess Champion in more than 250 pictures. Magnus Carlsen, born in 1990, became a Grandmaster at age 13. Carlsen was crowned World Champion in 2013 when he defeated Vishy Anand and has successfully defended his title three times. He will again play for the title in November in Dubai. Carlsen comes from a close-knit family and is often surrounded by his father, mother, and sisters. As a sports fanatic, he plays – and follows – football and basketball. He doesn’t shy away from his celebrity status and was a G-Star model and a Real Madrid VIP guest. But his most genuine smile breaks through when he talks chess with his youngest fans, the kids in a chess tournament. For this book, publisher New In Chess, part of the Play Magnus Group, had access to the Carlsen family archive and all pictures of the best chess photographers. About the Author Jonathan Tisdall is a grandmaster and chess journalist who writes for Norwegian and international newspapers and magazines such as The Economist and New In Chess.
