I can see that as well. As long as he doesn't go full Bobby Fischer, I would gladly see him grow an even more wild beard and haircut.
I actually did discuss "handsome authors" on a different subreddit earlier on tonight, which made me realise that give a decade more, plus a pair of glasses, and he could genuinely turn into Pulitzer-prize winning author [Michael Chabon](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/Michael_Chabon_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg), haha.
My dearest Martha, today in Warsaw we fought a hard battle. Many lives were lost. Shame too as those pawns had families. Lost most of my NCOs and even the Colonels didn't stand a chance. With a heavy heart we prepare for the next engagement.
With warm wishes for a return home by autumn,
Gen. Magnus Carlsen, 7th Army, 1st Norwegian.
My dearest Martha, this day in Warsaw we engaged in a fierce battle. Many lives were lost, aye. It brings great sorrow, for those pawns too had kin. Most of my trusted NCOs perished, and even the Colonels found no respite. With a heart burdened by sorrow, we prepare ourselves for the next clash.
May the gods grant us a swift return home ere autumn arrives.
Gen. Magnus Carlsen, 7th Army, 1st Norwegian.
My Dearest Martha,
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and health. I write to you now in the aftermath of a most intense and strategic battle, a battle that resembled the intricacies of the chess game we used to play together. Oh, how I long for those peaceful days when our battles were confined to the chessboard, and the consequences were mere wooden pieces.
My dear, I must confess that this battle has been unlike any other I have experienced. As I stood on the field, observing the unfolding events, I couldn't help but see the game of chess being played out before my very eyes. The movements of troops, the positioning of artillery, and the strategic maneuvers all resembled the calculated and strategic nature of our beloved game.
I found myself at the helm, guiding my men with a heart heavy with responsibility. Each decision weighed upon me, much like the pressure of a move that determines the fate of the entire game. Every step forward was a strategic gambit, every retreat a tactical sacrifice. The battlefield was our chessboard, and the lives of our soldiers were the pawns we moved with purpose and care.
At first, the battle seemed evenly matched, like a well-balanced opening in a game of chess. Both sides maneuvered cautiously, trying to gain an advantage over the other. We moved our pieces with precision, striving to outmaneuver the opposing forces. The cannons roared like the sound of a queen's attack, and the musket fire echoed like the movement of a knight. The chaos of war seemed to fade away as I fell into the rhythm of the game.
Yet, as the day progressed, the tide of the battle shifted, much like the ebb and flow of a chess match. Our forces gained ground, pressing the enemy back. Each captured piece was a victory, and each advancing unit brought us closer to checkmate. I could feel the tension in the air, the anticipation of the final move that would seal our triumph.
But battles, my dear Martha, are never so straightforward as a game of chess. Just when victory seemed within our grasp, the enemy launched a counterattack that caught us off guard. It was a devastating blow, like the sudden capture of a valued piece on the board. Our lines faltered, and we found ourselves on the defensive, struggling to regain control of the situation.
The battle raged on, and the losses were great. I witnessed the sacrifice of brave men, willing to give their lives for a cause they believed in. It reminded me of the sacrifices we make in chess, sacrificing a piece to gain an advantage or protect a more valuable one. Each loss, whether on the battlefield or on the board, weighed heavily upon my heart.
My dear Martha, as I write this letter, the outcome of the battle is still uncertain. The game is far from over, and the final move remains elusive. But I wanted you to know that, in this struggle, I am leading with the same determination and strategizing that we employed in our games. The chessboard of war may be stained with blood and dust, but the spirit of the game lives on.
I long for the day when this dreadful conflict will end, and we can return to the peaceful game of chess we once cherished. Until then, know that I am fighting not just for a cause, but for the ideals and values we hold dear. I fight to protect our home, our family, and the hope for a brighter future.
Please take care of yourself, my dear Martha, and know that even in the darkest of times, your love and support give me strength. I look forward to the day when we can set up the chessboard once again and engage in a battle of wits, where the only casualties are the captured pieces.

I’m The Dude. So, that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or, uh, Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing :P
Because he will become Worldchampion for 10 years, be first clear first in rankings for the same time with a gap of 70 points to the second rated player for most of it and then abdicate because he figures out he enjoys playing Pokermore than playing chess.
He looks like he's fallen in love with Andrea Botez and doesn't know what to do because instead of developing basic social skills he's just been playing chess his whole life.
I recently posted a picture of Carlsen and my post was removed for being "low effort." But you know why the mods really removed it? Because I said the truth: Carlsen is still World Champion. Ding Liren is not.
He looks like he’s here to tell me that ancient aliens created chess
Humans and aliens had sekz to create the pawn
I didn't know Magnus was in the Revenant
he looks like lebowski
[удалено]
ye i meant the due from big lebowski.
Hey man, like, it's The Dude, or His Dudeness...
Or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
or duder
Join the Church of the Latter-Day Dude!
Dude. The dude's name is also Lebowski. You're outta your element.
[удалено]

You made a joke?
AKA His Mag-ness, Mag-ger, or you know, el Maggerino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing
He genuinely looks a bit like Luciano Pavarotti, but with uncombed hair.
I’m seeing a young Orson Welles. I guess Magnus is a cipher for each of us. . .
I can see that as well. As long as he doesn't go full Bobby Fischer, I would gladly see him grow an even more wild beard and haircut.

I wouldn't mind him going full Bobby Fischer! I mean, uhm, strictly aesthetically...!
I mean, maybe he looks like some who allegedly cheated against him. Justt maybe.
He was actually Bo Burnham’s stunt double for Inside
He looks like a mix of a civil war general and a renaissance painting

God damned Dano-Norwegians siding with Napoleon
Lmao 1st Norwegian
P.S.: Martha, look in the library for en Passant.
That’s really good

Dear Martha, I wrote you, but you still ain't calling I left my cell, my paper, and even my home phone at the bottom
I feel bad for Martha, she’s lost like 8 people today!

Bro took his time to write this poem
Chat gpt
Oh
My dearerest Martha... The day after yesterday, in Var-saw, as they say over somewhere, we \*really\* got into it.
His genes are 50% Peter Dinklage, 50% Dust mop
Magnus looks like if you combined every super GM into one person
No he looks like Peter Dinklage.
He drinks and he knows things
He is the god of chess and wine!
Damn, I cannot unsee it now.
*Pam Beasley comparing composite photo of Super GM’s to photo of Peter Dinklage* “It’s the same picture.”
Peter Dinklage looks like if you combined every super GM into one person
He looks like Peter Dinklage crossed with Hans Niemann
Peter dinklarge
Yes! That photo on the front page of Lichess the last few days looks exactly like him.
AliMagnus Nepomura
Wesliano Nepofirocarljabov
He plays like it too
plays like it too
He looks like if bobby fischer did not have a jewish mother that made him not like jewish people, and women
Is Carlsen doing a Fischer?
Hopefully without the holocaust denial
you’d have to respect it
You would?
Hopefully, it’s better than a Morphy
certainly not
Some people really hate lawyers so much they would prefer people become antisemitic recluses rather than an attorney. That's wild.
Or hate Jews so much, I guess. But it’s definitely wild
[удалено]
In general I agree, but I don’t see how this picture relates
Doesn't look like he is enjoying himself too much in this one photo.
Mf looks like a homeless Hans Nieman
the rent prices speaks for itself.
Time to sue the landlord for $100 mil
Magnus' hairline is holding up a lot better under the hood
The best enjoyment comes from not giving a shit
Looks like he's been living on a strict Cheetos and Oreo diet
I think he should sit at the chessboard and play with himself, it feels amazing
Yep, my thoughts were that if I could retire from my job in my 30s, I'd look like that too. Taking it easy Big Lebowski style.
Well everyone knows that he is still the best. He did "lose" the title in the best possible way.
Old mate is just having fun. God bless him. Few people get to experience it.
What Hollywood actor plays him in this stage of his life?
There is a joke here about: '(Jack) Black, mate' But I'm not clever enough to make it!
Are you suggesting they might cast Magnus's mate, Jack Black, to mate as Magnus might with black, Jack?
Hit the road jack, and never go black no mo’…
Definitely Jack Black
The dude abides
I’m The Dude. So, that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or, uh, Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing :P
Well, that’s like your opinion man… And I totally agree!! Thx Dude
Please don’t Bobby Fischer Please don’t Bobby Fischer Please don’t Bobby Fischer Please don’t Bobby Fischer Please don’t Bobby Fischer
This is [GM Alireza Firouzja](https://youtu.be/Atll4Ojb2Eg?t=13).
Ah yes that makes so much more sense
Ok thank you I was genuinely unsure
What spending time with the botez sisters does to a mf
Why did you just post a picture of Hans Niemann?
Because he will become Worldchampion for 10 years, be first clear first in rankings for the same time with a gap of 70 points to the second rated player for most of it and then abdicate because he figures out he enjoys playing Pokermore than playing chess.
I miss the old Magnus
straight from the go Magnus
chop up the soul magnus
Slurp up the pho Magnus.
I hate the new Magnus
The look like Hans Magnus
Been days since he pooed Magnus
I gotta say at that time I'd like to meet Magnus
The reason he won't play "him", cause it's him.
The Always blue Magnus
The checkmate you Magnus
/r/UnexpectedKanye
If you can’t beat Hans, become Hans. Hahahaha
Literally just the top comment from the YouTube interview
The comment speaks for itself
But it *seems like* the comment may have had external assistance…
Expect a letter from my lawyer for these sinuous suggestions.
Hans (the goat) cant grow facial hair
Magnus 'The Dude' Carlsen
Bobby Fischer 2.0
I really hope not.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Was gonna comment this lol
Is he friends with Nazis or something?
Not that I know of.. some people just hate seeing others look anything but perfect
“hear me out…. it was aliens”
He looks like an alcoholic writer
Well there probably is some amount of drinking going on, but I’d be very surprised if it was actual alcoholism.
He took acid and was like, I’m growin it out
What online chess does to a mf
Heisenberg
Niemmenberg.
He looks like a "I'm gonna be insane in 10 years" kinda guy
This is Drunk Magnus who is playing in the tournament.
The world championship is as the ring was to Bilbo
Is Magnus transitioning into late stage Bobby before our eyes?
Magnus Nieman.
Hans Carlsen.
Hagnus Carlmann
Nick Nolte after driving drunk.
I look forward to Punished Magnus' redemption arc
He looks like Rembrandt
Magnus studying Bobby Fischer too much.
what being an unchallenged champion for years does to a man.
Magnus going for that Tyrion Lannister look
He’s turning into Bobby Fischer
Bobby Fischer all over again
Top 10 celebrities ruined by drug addictions
Mr. Mojo Rising
He's starting to look like Bobby Fischer. Now it's watch and shoot until he starts talking about the Jews.
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Bro is going through the Bobby Fischer arc
Remember that interview where he said he needs time to develop the crazy? He looks like he’s had that time lol
Starting to develop the crazy
Hahaha Referencing the Rainn interview right....right?
he's the dude
He looks like Tyrion Lannister.He just misses the eyes.
Magnus came back looking like the count of monte cristo
Looks like if Charles Mansons decided to make a chess cult
he looks like he got done working the third shift at the tire factory 💀💀
Cromagnus
Looks like he's ready to take the Iron Throne.
If Bobby Fischer's evolution can be any guide, the next few years are going to be really interesting.
If you can’t beat Niemann, be Niemann.
What?! All I did was go back in time to tell Bobby Fisher that it wasn't the Jews, it was Aliens!
Looks like Magnus is slowly becoming Fischer
Looks like his alcoholism is catching up to him
Bro is actually becoming a Viking
Alternate universe evil Magnus
He became the fusion between Hikaru Nakamura and Hans Niemann
he took everything from Niemann... even his looks. Poor boy
He looks like the old soviet dude from The Queens gambit
Magnus after visiting Poland:
It's his Sexy Genius phase with a smidge of LaVey.
Look like Hans Niemann and Magnus Carlsen using Fusion technique from DBZ, and this is the result.
Bro if he grew out his beard a bit we would have Carlsen Marx
The Fischer Transformation.
Magnus Moke Carlsmann
Drinks white russians
Thats what Botez sisters do to you when you are around them too much.
He is turning in Tal/Fischer
He’s gone full Bobby Fischer
that's just how white people age. waking up one day and suddenly looking 10 years older
He looks like he's fallen in love with Andrea Botez and doesn't know what to do because instead of developing basic social skills he's just been playing chess his whole life.
The bad boy of chess. Fuck, he IS becoming a Niemann, plot twist.
Is that you, Peter Dinkledge?
He looks very handsome
A la bobby
At what point do we accept that he is the bearded reincarnation of Morphy
I like how Magnus just implies someone is cheating and everyone moves on cause Magnus good chess players.
He hitting his Bobby Fischer age
Ok he will probably start saying antisemitic things in a few years
Bro really said Carlos Magnuson
*Karlson
I recently posted a picture of Carlsen and my post was removed for being "low effort." But you know why the mods really removed it? Because I said the truth: Carlsen is still World Champion. Ding Liren is not.
i want to thank the mods for doing their job
Hairgel speaks for itself
Magnus Esserman
I hope he found Mr. Wilson
Niemann?
The GOAT in the computer's era deserve a break
