Activity 3
Instruction: Research two (2) famous chess players in the world. Summarize their life story and how
did they become successful in the field of chess. Provide at least 1 picture of each player.

Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen born November 30,1990 Carlsen finished first in the C group of the Corus
chess tournament shortly after he turned 13, and earned the title of grandmaster a few months later.
At age 15, he won the Norwegian Chess Championship, and at 17, he finished joint first in the top
group of Corus. He surpassed a rating of 2800 at age 18 and reached number one in the FIDE world
rankings aged 19, becoming the youngest person ever to achieve those feats.

Carlsen became World Chess Champion in 2013 by defeating


Viswanathan Anand. In the following year, he retained his title
against Anand, and won both the 2014 World Rapid
Championship and World Blitz Championship, thus becoming the
first player to hold all three titles simultaneously, a feat he
repeated in 2019. He defended his classical world title against
Sergey Karjakin in 2016, and against Fabiano Caruana in 2018.
And 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. His peak classical rating of
2882 is the highest in history. Carlsen also holds the record for the
longest unbeaten run in classical chess.

Wilhelm Steinitz (1836-1900)


Wilhelm Steinitz is known not only for being the first official World Champion but also as the father of
positional chess. Chess players of the 19th century were adepts at aggressive and attacking play while
defending was left for cowards. Steinitz’s revolutionary theory of positional play made a huge impact
on chess and is still relevant. Many future best chess players, including the next World Champion
Emanuel Lasker, acknowledged him as their teacher.

He won the World Champion title in 1886 after beating Johannes Zukertort in a match. Later he
defended his title by winning matches versus Gunsberg and Chigorin but lost his title to Emanuel
Lasker in 1894

Although to defend his theory Steinitz was often playing


positionally or even defensively, the following game was
finished by a brilliant attack.
