With 37 Percent Endorsement, 32-Year-Old Norwegian Grandmaster Now Billed as the Next Tom Brady of Another Sport

The NFL has seen its popularity rise over the years. And it has coincided with the rise of arguably it’s greatest player ever, Tom Brady. The QB has shattered records and redefined the role throughout his career with his skills and ability on the pitch. His skills have seen him earn the honor of being called the GOAT and set the standards for NFL and beyond.

The former Patriots QB and his sheer dominance over the NFL saw him win 7 Super Bowls in a career spanning over 2 decades. To add to his Super Bowl collection, he has numerous awards which would be enough to fill a museum. There are few who can match such standards in any sport, but the Norwegian GM is one of the few exceptions.

Tom Brady esque Chess GM voted as the GOAT

Chess has been one of the oldest sports and has witnessed many greats in the game. But few come close to what Magnus Carlsen has accomplished in the sport. His records and World Championships rival that of American sensation Tom Brady and his Super Bowls wins.

Along with being one of the best in history in their respective games, few will deny the genius of both. Like the recent vote held by Chess.com which saw a 37% vote in favour of Magnus Carlsen as the GOAT back in August 2021. The former Bucs QB commands a similar vein of respect from players of past and present.

Carlsen and Brady have dominated their sport ever since they stepped into Chess and NFL. In a career spanning 2 decades, Magnus Carlsen has won 5 world championships in less than a decade. Brady meanwhile has managed to win two more Super Bowls than his Norwegian counterpart in double the duration. Although it should be noted that both have performed an incredible feat in stamping their authority on the sport. But one feat will forever elude Tom Brady and other top athletes in the world.

Magnus Carlsen – the dominant force in Chess

The genius of Magnus Carlsen at his prime can instil fear in his opponents even before they duel with the pieces infront of them. And this fear is personified by one of the best run of form by any athlete ever seen in any sport. Magnus Carlsen went unbeaten for over 125 games between 2018 and 2020.

The run also included his fifth world Championship title in that time. His run of form caused many to speculate if he would ever lose a game of chess. His excellence and fervour has seen him acquire the highest rating of any Chess player in all time with a FIDE rating of 2882. Although Carlsen has lost a few points, he continues to be the undoubted leader in Chess with a rating of 2864. For context, the world no. 2 and current world Champion, Ding Liren in chess holds a rating of 2808.

Whether Carlsen can be the next Tom Brady, it’s yet to be seen. But the comparisons are there for everyone to see and witness the greatness demonstrated. If Carlsen manages to add 2 world titles before retirement, he will undoubtedly become the Tom Brady of chess.
