More quotes by Magnus Carlsen
Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it's OK to lose. I don't. You have to be merciless.
Magnus Carlsen
I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
Magnus Carlsen
In my experience, when I went to school, and especially in after-school, and during breaks, a lot of people wanted to sit down and play chess up till a certain age when it was not supposed to be cool anymore and people wanted to do other things.
Magnus Carlsen
It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people.

Contrary to many young Colleagues, I do believe that it makes sense to study the Classics.
Magnus Carlsen
I really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important.
Magnus Carlsen
I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. Now, obviously, the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games. I analyze when I'm on the computer, either my games or my opponents. But mostly my own.
Magnus Carlsen
My former coach, Simen Agdestein, used to be the best player in Norway.
Magnus Carlsen
I am trying to beat the guy sitting across from me and trying to choose the moves that are most unpleasant for him and his style.
Magnus Carlsen
I've never really had a favorite player, past or present.
Magnus Carlsen
I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.
Magnus Carlsen
The Nanjing games are homework by Garry Kasparov and me, [...] Today's game was provided by Garry.
