Some people just take the fun out of a human chess tournament - Carlsen needs some stronger competition either Kasparov should return from retirement or we should start having inter-galactic events.

I don't understand why Carlsen is being criticised by Mr Alexis. He is constantly putting critical comments on this blog whether against women's chess or Carlsen in particular. I think it's not fair. Everyone has a right to their opinions but they cannot just put whatever they feel like on the blog. I think the Chess Queen should ask the editors to please moderate such comments no matter how much hard work it takes. CARLSEN IS THE BEST. Please stop this criticism.
