Magnus Carlsen has a girlfriend, but before we tell you who she is, let’s talk a little bit about him. Magnus Carlsen is a professional chess player and the reigning World Chess Champion, in case you weren’t aware.

He is second only to the legendary Garry Kasparov in terms of the amount of time he spent as the world’s finest chess player, and he has been one of the best players ever.

Carlsen is now unmarried, however, he has had some notable relationships in the past. He first publicly announced his relationship with his 22-year-old then-girlfriend Synne Christin Larsen on Valentine’s Day 2017. She followed him throughout his World Chess Championship, and the two were frequently spotted together in public.

However, their relationship only lasted until January 2018. Since none of them has spoken about the specific reason for their breakup, there is no explanation from the two. However, it is a truism that chess players lose form when they date because they become preoccupied, so…

Before Synne, Magnus was coy about his sexual relationships, and following their divorce, it appears that he has been fully preoccupied with his profession.

Magnus Carlsen Age & Early Life

Let’s talk about his life and profession, from the very beginning to his most recent achievements, now that we’ve covered everything regarding his love life.

Born Sven Magnus en Carlsen on November 30, 1990, in Tonsberg, Norway, he is the son of IT consultant Henrik Albert Carlsen and chemical engineer Sigurn en. Magnus moved a lot as a child, first settling in Espoo, Finland, then in Brussels, Belgium, until the family returned to Norway and settled in Lommedalen, Baerum.

However, at some point later, they relocated once more, this time to Haslum. When he was just four years old, he began displaying intellectual inferiority by putting together jigsaw puzzles meant for kids between the ages of 10 and 14. After a year, his chess-loving father began teaching him the great game. At first, he showed little to no interest, but in his seventh year, he began to take it more seriously. At the age of 8 years and 7 months, Carlsen competed in his first tournament—the youngest division of the 1999 Norwegian Chess Championship—and earned a score of 612/11.

Become More Prominent

He gradually started taking part in bigger competitions, and in 2000 he played in more than 300 rated tournament games. In 2002, he reached No. 6 in the European Under-12 Championship in Peniscola, and in November, he tied for first place with Ian Nemomniachtchi in the World Under-12 Championship in Heraklion. He gained notoriety in 2004 when he won a game in the C group of the Corus Chess Tournament in Wijk aan Zee, losing just one game overall to achieve his first GM norm. A few months later, he attained the rank of Grandmaster.

The following few years saw him continue his ascent to fame, and in 2013 he defeated Viswanathan Anand to win the title of World Chess Champion. Magnus has held the title of World Chess Champion ever since, winning six straight titles.

Each of these businesses has regularly added to his riches. Have you ever pondered Magnus Carlsen’s net worth as of mid-2019? Carlsen’s net worth has reportedly been estimated to be as high as $8 million, which is rather astounding, don’t you think?
