3100 Performance by Magnus Carlsen

The rampage continues: in round four of the Pearl Spring Super-GM 18-year-old Norwegian GM Magnus Carlsen showed grit and determination to win his third game, against Russian GM Dmitry Jakovenko, with the black pieces. Magnus now has a performance of over 3100.
This kid has really a long way to go. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a year or two he becomes the World Champion and/or capture the top spot at the FIDE’s rankings.

A great and very young chess grandmaster, GM Magnus Carlsen, has a blog. I don’t know, maybe the posts and the whole website is maintained by his father. But at least there’s a venue for fans to interact with him - maybe not directly - but at least. It’s hosted in blogg.no, which I really don’t know if it’s something that should be trusted. They should have known Tumblr instead.
