Wonderboy Magnus Carlsen: How Magnus Carlsen Became the Youngest Grandmaster in the World
This book serves as an entry (A book about someone who is living your dream) in the Toronto Public Library Advanced Reading Challenge 2021. One of my dreams as a child was to become a chess player after learning to play the game at the late age of ten. Sadly, I was nowhere as good as I need to be to make a professional career of it.
Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen is a Norwegian chess grandmaster who is the current World Chess Champion, World Rapid Chess Champion, and World Blitz Chess Champion. Carlsen first reached the top of the FIDE world rankings in 2010, and trails only Garry Kasparov in time spent as the highest rated player in the world. Carlsen also holds the record for the longest unbeaten run in classical chess.

Magnus Carlsen and the Game of ChessBiographies and memoirs
Cappelen Damm 2013
186 Pages
Original title: Magnus Carlsen og sjakkspillet
Magnus Carlsen is only twentythree years old, but nonetheless, of all 21st century Norwegians, he has advanced to the most important position in a sport. On the 1st January 2010, he rose to the top of the world rankings in chess as the youngest player in recorded history. This book describes his journey to the top, without detailed accounts or diagrams of games. Instead, the readers are invited to follow Magnus Carlsen's remarkable career and given some understanding of his almost incomprehensible feat.
Danielsen is an excellent communicator, who tells Carlsen’s story in a humorous and agreeable style. What is most impressive is his ability to recreate the excitement of the chessboard without using chess notation. This book is highly recommended.’
