Re: Carlsen: 'This victory is a milestone for my career'

1% talent, what was he smoking. He had to many rematch causes don't you think. I do.

Most likely you can reach the top either way be it talent or a great work ethic. Capablanca wasn't known to burn the midnight oil studing chess where as Alekhine was known to have a great capacity for work. Botvinnik I imagine knows what it took to get him to the top. There will always be someone smarter or stronger but if you let them out work you it's your own fault. (Thats what I tell my kids anyhow)

My Best,
Rick

Well said,especially the last sentence
