You have to choose the move that feels right sometimes that's what intuition is.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
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
Image
I'm more interested in the games than the people.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
I've never really had a favorite player, past or present.
Magnus Carlsen

I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
For me, the most important thing is to continue to play well and to be a positive figure and hopefully a role model for kids as well.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
I honestly don't read that much. Obviously I read chess books - in terms of favorites, Kasparov's 'My Great Predecessors' is pretty good.

Unfortunately I'm still not a fashion expert.

I got the travel bug when I was quite young. My parents took me and my sisters out of school and we travelled all over Europe. It was an eye-opening experience and, although I love Norway, I also enjoy visiting new countries. I don't get homesick.

Chess only appeals to quite a small minority. It does not have the cachet of a mainstream popular sport.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
What I admired most about him [Bobby Fischer] was his ability to make what was in fact so difficult look easy to us. I try to emulate him.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
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
Image
I played like a child!
Magnus Carlsen
Image
It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
People ask what my goal is. I don't have a goal.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
I think with chess as with everything, marketing is the main issue.
Magnus Carlsen
Image
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
Image
Right now I'm really happy with how things are going with my chess career, so I'm not thinking of doing anything else.
