Of course, analysis can sometimes give more accurate results than intuition but usually it’s just a lot of work. I normally do what my intuition tells me to do. Most of the time spent thinking is just to double-check.

More quotes by Magnus Carlsen
When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.
Magnus Carlsen
I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.
Magnus Carlsen
I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
Magnus Carlsen
I'm more interested in the games than the people.
Magnus Carlsen
There are so many games that I've seen that I've learned from. I never - that's also part of the same - never single out a particular player or a particular game.
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
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'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
I played like a child!
Magnus Carlsen
I'm definitely the first no.1 in the world since Fischer, and probably at least since Kasparov, who probably has the most potential to dominate for the foreseeable future.
Magnus Carlsen
You have to choose the move that feels right sometimes that's what intuition is.
Magnus Carlsen
I think with chess as with everything, marketing is the main issue.
Magnus Carlsen
I learnt an enormous amount, but there came a point where I found there was too much stress. It was no fun any more. Outside of the chessboard I avoid conflict, so I thought this wasn't worth it.
Magnus Carlsen
Not winning a tournament is not an option for me, unless it's no longer theoretically possible - then of course winning becomes impossible. But up to that point, not winning is just not an option.
Magnus Carlsen
I'm not really into rap.
Magnus Carlsen
It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people.
