World's youngest grandmaster

Smart kid.

Norway's chess prodigy Magnus Carlsen became the world's youngest international grandmaster (GM) on Monday after playing a draw against highly rated Alexei Fedorov of Belarus in the penultimate round of the 6th Dubai Open. Carlsen, 13, clinched the highest life title awarded by world chess federation FIDE with a round to spare.

Carlsen becomes the second youngest GM in the history of the game and the seventh titleholder in Norway.

1. Don't expect some named "Magnus" to be a chess player.

I think lineman or "World's Strongest Man Competition."
