Peter Heine Nielsen (born May 24, 1973) is a Danish chess player, and the current coach of chess world champion Magnus Carlsen.
Nielsen coached World Champion Vishy Anand from 2002 until 2012. Anand won the World Championship title in Mexico 2007, and defended it in Bonn 2008, Sofia 2010 and Moscow 2012.
Nielsen has been coaching world number one, Magnus Carlsen, since 2013. In 2013 Carlsen won the Candidates tournament giving him the right to challenge Vishy Anand for his title, which he later did and won.
Nielsen coached Carlsen in Khanty-Mansiysk 2005, when Carlsen as the youngest ever qualified for the candidate matches.
Nielsen became an International Grandmaster in 1994. He won the Danish Chess Championship five times: in 1996, 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2008. He played for Denmark in seven Chess Olympiads, three times on top board, with an overall result of 60.1% (+24 −10 =35). He won an individual gold medal on third board at Moscow 1994.
By September 2005, Nielsen's Elo rating in the FIDE list was 2668, at the time the highest rating for any player from the Nordic countries. He was formerly a second for World Champion Viswanathan Anand; he currently is a second for Magnus Carlsen.
On January 30, 2004 he played against Chessbrain – which earned the world record as the largest distributed chess computer.
His handle on the Internet Chess Club is "Heine".
