Carlsen's rating is now 2861, more than 50 points clear of his nearest rivals and consigning Garry Kasparov's 2851 mark to the history books.

It was the fourth Classic at London's Kensington Olympia, and the most successful yet with inspired fighting chess, capacity audiences at the venue and tens of thousands watching the games free and live online. The problem now will be how to maintain this momentum in 2013.




2861 is the highest FIDE rating ever achieved.

Thank you James!
I am proud of him, I think most Norwegians are :)
He is very talented and amazed us even as a child.
