I’ve seen better chess played on the quad.

Carlsen is far from autistic -- he's just not very talkative/friendly in the public eye.

I’m assuming Huey doesn’t even know who Carlsen is, just assumes all chess players are autistic.

I found an article that calls Carlsen the David Beckham of Chess.
Obviously, they're correct. What a hottie.

Was expecting him to be Asian. Speaking of, why aren't there much, if any, Asian chess masters? Are they all too busy playing Chinese checkers or Mahjong?

Nakamura is asian-american. Carlsen slaps him around pretty often

This 27-year-old Norwegian dude named Magnus Carlsen has reigned since 2013.

The current Women's World Champion (and dominatingly so) is Hou Yifan from China. India's Viswanathan Anand was World Champion before Carlsen. There are many others.

I've always wanted to play a master just to watch the magic happen.
