A new career for chess champion
Chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen’s knack for complex strategy has helped steer him into the upper echelons of an unlikely competition -- fantasy football.
The Norwegian stands third on the Premier League’s official fantasy football competition (FPL), only being knocked off top spot on Monday after Crystal Palace’s 1-1 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 29-year-old reigning world chess champion tweaked his Twitter profile to include his FPL achievement.
“World Chess Champion. The highest ranked chess player in the world,” reads his bio on the social media site.
