Fabiano Caruana did not begin to play chess in Brooklyn, New York, when he was five years old, because his mother thought it would be a future Grand Master, or he would play one day for the world chess championship, as fellow Brooklyn Bobby Fischer in the early 1970s back. No, the mother thought of chess Caruana would calm down and keep it focused in school. “I have trouble concentrating,” Caruana, 26, tells TIME, “and the idea was that perhaps chess would help. It was more of a cure.” It does not take much, this cure for little baby took well over hyperactivity Caruana its construction Lego and origami ever could. Within a year, the profit that tournament games against children who were older and in high school was. “His first teacher told us that seeks its chess concepts to teach,” says Caruana father, Lou. “We knew it was special.” As of Friday in London, Caruana win the first American since Fischer, 1972 chess world title and held it until 1975, the world championship of chess herauszuzufordern. Caruana faces the Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, the world chess champion from 2013, the 12-game more than three weeks at the College, an exhibition area of 10,000 square meters will be played in the city. Chess rarely much mainstream draws attention in the United States. But experts expect a chess Caruana win could trigger an explosion in the interests chess America saw the period of maximum splendor Fischer. “You do as winner, right?” Founder and editor of the weekly British patent based under control, says Mark Crowther. In March, Caruana earned the right to face Carlsen seven other top players to beat to win the Candidates tournament in Berlin. “Fabiano has the power to be better than Carlsen,” says Crowther. “We were very, very few players who can say anything. I honestly do not know who will win this match. There is a total toss-up.” An American forged Caruana issued to represent the biggest stage on chess. His family decided to Fabiano out of school and moved to Spain to take to compete if 12 was the most high-level tournaments and train with the best instructors. Since the mother is Italian, he could compete for the Chess Federation in Italy. “It was not an easy decision,” she says to take his son home from his father Lou Caruana school. “The plan has always been to do for a year or two and see how it works. If you miss a year of school, so what? He’s smart and can recover. We can always the right things when it does not go in the right direction.” In Firstly Caruana did not support the plan. “I was really excited to go to Europe, proposed as my parents,” he says. “I had friends in Brooklyn, I had a life in Brooklyn. But once I have enough full-time began to play chess, it was just a normal part of life. My father and Tournament just in different countries. I lost things social in school and everything, but I was able to see the world as a child, which is very rare. “Lou, a former data processing consultant who also earns income from real estate assets, says many $spent 100,000 traveling on chess and guidance to the child in the early years in Europe. The investment has paid off: Before his 15th birthday, Caruana became the youngest chess master at the time, in the history of Italy and the United States. Caruana admits early successes with his head a little ‘bloated. “Do not you think you need to work, which is always a mistake,” says Caruana. “I would not take excessive risks and crazy things to do to win a game and commit suicide.” Caruana has surpassed its growing pains, however, and began to earn a living playing chess. At the same time, he saw a return to the United States. In 2014 he appeared in a dominant performance in Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis, as Carlsen and other elite players to beat to win the tournament. The Cup Sinquefield is called financier Rex Sinquefield, who made the first stock index funds in 1970 tested – and should build itself into one of the leading chess club invested north of $50 million worldwide in the last ten years St. Louis. With St. Louis now aspiring epicenter of global chess, Caruana moved to America in 2015 and moved back organizations from ‘Italy in the United States Caruana now lives in St. Louis. “For a chess player,” Caruana said, “it is to be the best place.” To prepare for his match against Carlsen, Caruana has spent to train at home in Missouri bit ‘of time Sinquefield of the country this summer. Besides hours playing chess with other great masters, bumped and turned tires and played tennis to keep in peak physical condition. “Chess requires a lot of strength,” says Caruana. “You sit and you play six, seven hours at a time. They burn a lot of calories and you can be mentally tired easily. If it is not good your fitness, then you are likely to get a bit ‘of time to crash.” Caruana does not stick to a strict diet, even if he did not try to avoid excessive sugar, to avoid the up and coming inevitable. In the weeks before the head of the world rankings Chess, Caruana has trained in Spain, where did yoga and swim in the Mediterranean to keep a cool head. He also played the games for up to eight hours a day. “The goal is to get about 24.07 chess in preparation for the game of thinking,” he says. “It does quick games, slow games, anything you get in this mode where you can calculate very quickly. His works are mind in the best possible shape.” Caruana that Americans are blessed with lots of sports and entertainment venues. So why should random chess participation observers in its three-week game with Carlsen have never worry about those who do not play the game? “It ‘sa bit like boxing or MMA,” says Caruana. “It will be a battle, blow for blow is tried with each of us to win, try to impose our will on the other guy.
