I play chess. I consider myself pretty good at it. So I decided to do something cool. I sent a friend request to Magnus Carlsen. If you don't know who that is, he is the Chess World Champion. He is known to some as the greatest chess player to ever live.
Now, If he accepts this friend request, (which is more likely than you would think as some of his friends have low ELO ranking and are not very active), then I will challenge him to a match. I will put it on daily so we each have 1 day per turn.
My goal is not to win, but merely to put him in check. I don't know if that's possible. but I want to be able to say that I played the World Chess Champion and put him in check. Because that would be epic.I just really hope this works

Any update?

hehe, A funny one, yes.
I think it was about an hour after I sent the challenge that an article was published. but I hadn't read it or seen it until several days later.
Basically, the article was saying how Magnus Carlsen retired. I was shocked at this and then realized he retired about an hour after I challenged him. Which was really funny. Then I realized that while it was published march 31st for me, it was published in April fools for them so it was a prank which is slightly sad.
Anyway, I doubt anything will happen for a while as he isn't very active on the site
