Magnus Carlsen Early Life
Magnus Carlsen IQ was born on November 30, 1990, in Bærum, Akershus, Norway, making Magnus Carlsen age to be 29 this year. He is the son of Sigrun Øen, Henrik, and Albert Carlsen, and he has three brothers: Ingrid, Signe, and Ellen Øen. He learned to play chess with his father at age five. His first goals were to defeat his sister and his father. When he was eight years old, he participated in his first tournament.
His motivation was always the game, to fully understand it, to have fun. Grandmaster at 13 years old, number one on a provisional ranking at 17, and another official one at 19, he crossed the barriers of 2,700 and 2,800 Elo points at 16 and 18 years old, respectively. No one, not Fischer, not Karpov, not Kasparov, accomplished so much while so young.
He was first trained by Simen Agdestein. He managed to beat players like Nigel Short, Anatoly Karpov, Ivan Sokolov, Kramnik, Ernst, and Dolmatov, and even achieved a draw in Magnus Carlsen vs Garry Kasparov (2004), who was number 1 at the time. There was no more Magnus Carlsen vs Kasparov after that.
Peter Heine Nielsen, the Danish Grand Master trained him, then Garry Kasparov himself trained him. Carlsen enjoys the simple life and works if he feels like it. It is understood that he only practiced a year and a half with Kasparov as a coach.
He is known as the Mozart of chess, he likes the long game, pressuring his rivals. He plays a wide variety of openings, and his dominance in positional style and the end is compared to Karpov and Capablanca.
Magnus Carlsen IQ
There is no official information about Magnus Carlsen IQ out there. The intelligence of a person cannot be measured nearly as precisely in IQ points as is possible for his weight in kilos and for his height in centimeters. His coach Garry Kasparov IQ is 135 points after the English test and 123 points after the Scottish test.
Based on these tests, Kasparov's intelligence can only be said to be considerably above the average but is not nearly as high as the intelligence of geniuses of the century, who include Goethe and Einstein. Their intelligence quotient was posthumously estimated at 200 by some psychologists and 180 by others. But this shows there is no correlation between IQ and chess players' skill levels.
What Chess Grandmasters have in common is the total passion for the game, high memory and spatial awareness, and the ability to focus on chess and concentrate during the game for a very long time.

Magnus Carlsen's girlfriend
Magnus Carlsen's girlfriend is Elisabet Lorentzen Djønne. She is 24 years old, five years Magnus' junior, and is from Hardanger in Western Norway. She studies Criminology at the University of Oslo.
Magnus and Elisabet have been in a relationship for nearly a year. When Elisabet posted a picture of her and Magnus visiting a German Zoo together on her private Instagram profile, the word spread and several Norwegian magazines/websites covered this story.
She took part in Brun Og Blid Modelling competition, a very popular one in Norway and reached the final 10. The prize for the winner was half a million Norwegian Kroner. Elisabet did not win the grand prize, yet for her first and only modeling appearance, it was a great outing.
Magnus Carlsen Vs Computer
Magnus Carlsen uses his computer to train, not to play against. Computers are simply too good for any human chess player alive right now. One chess grandmaster, Andrew Soltis, said: "Right now, there's just no competition," Soltis says. "The computers are just much too good."
"The world champion Magnus Carlsen won't even play his computer," Soltis says. "He uses it to train, to recommend moves for future competition. But he won't play it, because he just loses all the time and there's nothing more depressing than losing without even being in the game."
Carlsen himself said in an interview about Magnus Carlsen vs Computer: "I personally never wanted [to play against a computer]. I find it much more interesting to play humans. And also, of course, now that they have become so strong in a game like that, I wouldn't stand a chance."
After Garry Kasparov was defeated by Deep Blue, the chess-playing computer in 1997, computers have left human players further and further behind.
