With his incredibly solid victory in the Pearl Spring Chess Tournament 2009, Magnus carlsens rating is going to exceed the 2800 barrier for the first time.
According to the unofficial live ratings: http://chess.liverating.org/
Im looking forward to see how he will be doing in the 4. quarter of 2009.
In November, he plays the Tal Memorial in Moscow, followed in December by the London Chess Classic, and in January Corus Wijk aan Zee.
P.S
If only Hikaru Nakamura could pull himself together and be a true professional, im sure the chess scene 3-4 years ahead would be even more exciting than it is at present time.
