A few weeks ago Miguel Illescas He published an essential interview in El Mundo in which he anticipated many of the things that have happened in the World Chess Championship held Chennai, India, since November 7, 2013. Carlsen, 22, has defeated Champion Viswanathan Anand by 6.5 to 3.5 years and has reigned since the last five years. Ten games have been played, of which seven have been tables and three have won Carlsen, two of them playing with black.
Returning to Miguel Illescas, we remember that he signed two years for IBM to program the Deep Blue computer, which in 1997 beat Gari Kasparov. It is a story that can be read in the fantastic book by Leontxo García called Chess, science and mixed passions. And is that Illescas indicated in the interview:
Carlsen is an evolutionary step, it is a kind of improvement of the man-machine hybrid prototype, and for me he practices a futuristic, galactic chess and I don't see what Anand can do against it
Later Miguel explains that Carlsen is a hybrid in chess management combining it with computer precision. According to Miguel, the future will be for young people who take advantage of the Internet connection, technology, apply values of technological society and operate with robot precision. Seeing the result of the world championship, I have no doubt that Miguel Illescas is right and that we will see champion for many years. If you want.
For those who are more fans and want to expand the information, because I think we are at a time similar to that experienced by my generation when they faced Karpov and Kasparov, I recommend reading the chronicles of @LeontxoGarcia in El País that are perfectly labeled.
We join all congratulations to Carlsen and we are sure that we will have a champion for many years. His ability to squeeze the opponent not giving up one iota, calculating positions and moves with modern mental schemes and less based on linearity, taking advantage of his experience and taking advantage of being the champion.
