Magnus Carlsen is a Norwegian chess grandmaster and the sixteenth World Chess Champion. Carlsen's style is universal and he is capable of handling all sorts of positions well. He plays virtually all openings proficiently thus making it harder for opponents to prepare against him and reducing the effect of computer analysis.
