LOL!

ohh that tiger's tail ;)

The croc ate the tiger?

Was expecting better, what a let down just like the match.

Me gusta ,gracias.

I understand the tiger preference with Anand, after all they do have tigers in India. But crocodile-Carlsen?? We don't have crocodiles in Norway. José Diaz has always portrayed Carlsen as a viking. Why stop? Am I missing something??? I mean, if anything, why not a polar bear???

In an interview, Carlsen was asked what animal he would be. He answered that he would be a crocodile.

In an interview Carlsen answered the question what animal he would like to be if he hadn't been himself with: A crocodile. He just lies around and eats everything that passes by. That explains the use of the crocodile in this great cartoon.

If you read Spanish (or can translate the page) you'll understand, and will also enjoy an excellent article on Carlsen by the best Chess Journalist on the Planet, Mr. Leontxo Garcia. Check it out:

Why a crocodile ?!?!?

I prefer to see Magnus as a big white shark. Green as a croc, doesn't correspond to his caracter.

Crocodile Carlsen... http://newsaboutchess.com/datas/users/8/carlsen_stretch_8.jpg

how very much to the point ....

carlsen actually has simply disappeared. he hasn't given any interview yet. he is shockingly not interested in anybody or anything except himself.

this young man is simply a lout, I'm sorry to say.
judging from what could be read little Magnus has always been allowed to do what he wanted, mummy and daddy have been ever so proud letting him do anything - no wonder he behaves the way he does (now, at press conferences...) - he simply doesn't want to talk about chess ... he feels no obligation or any decent understanding of the world outside himself ....

there is a friendly word for this ... NARCISSISM
there is also a more realistic pathological word for this ....

This boy a hope for the Chess World - far from it!

The ceremony isn't until tomorrow, so I doubt he has disappeared. Calling somebody narcisistic, because he/she don't enjoy talking about themselves to the world should be a first.

He's proud to be WCH. Let it be.

One should seek for happiness in life. Seeking for improvement on move 40, in front of a computer screen for days and days, is that enjoying life?

Exhausting your opponents in drawn endgames, is that being number one? Or is it called, youth stamina?

I thought when he said Crocodile was his favorite animal, Magnus wanted to convey a hidden but known message. Crocodile does not have to kill its prey by itself, just eat of what is killed or half-killed(wounded) by others.

Its drawn! by Diaz! The chess king Croc!

I was expecting carlsen as a Thor, this looks at least strange.

Yes, Carlsen is a crocodile - an ambush predator. Many critics of his on this site find this blameworthy and illegitimate, and they want to deny him his laurels because he's not chasing his prey down in dramatic cheetah like fashion. I say they should learn to broaden the scope of what they understand and appreciate.

I take offense to this depiction of myself.

Carlsen,s strength is his endgame, His opponents will sure exploit his weakness in the opening

> We don't have crocodiles in Norway

You have one now. Congratulations to the one and only tiger-eating crocodile from Norway.

Thorodile's Hammer is elsewhere, celebrating.

That was kinda BAD!!!
Make a new one, please. Seriously!

At least the tiger is toothless in this picture, so that is kinda accurate.
