A delightful documentary about Magnus Carlson who became a chess grandmaster at the ripe age of 13 and a world champion before his 23rd birthday. It is a crown he hasn’t relinquished since he first won it in 2013. He displaced a prior champion of 7 years that had a vocabulary-like knowledge of every chess game ever played and many felt was unbeatable. Instead of some of the awkward and eccentric champions prior, Magnus is close to his family, has great camaraderie with a normal group of friends, and even became a fashion model. #redemptivemovies
