Parenthetically, note that Carlsen's career is generating considerable attention from non-chessplayers.
P.S. The blogger, Jonah Lehrer, was on Terry Gross's Fresh Air last Friday. His new book is How We Decide
. And if you haven't read Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success
, you really should: at least one chapter is of particular interest to chess players.
