More quotes by Magnus Carlsen
The Nanjing games are homework by Garry Kasparov and me, [...] Today's game was provided by Garry.
Magnus Carlsen
I honestly don't read that much. Obviously I read chess books - in terms of favorites, Kasparov's 'My Great Predecessors' is pretty good.
Magnus Carlsen
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.
Magnus Carlsen
It's nice to be financially secure. Apart from that, I really don't care too much about money.
Magnus Carlsen
I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
Magnus Carlsen
You need to have that edge, you need to have that confidence, you need to have that absolute belief that you're - you're the best and you'll win every time.
Magnus Carlsen
Right now I'm really happy with how things are going with my chess career, so I'm not thinking of doing anything else.
Magnus Carlsen
I've never really had a favorite player, past or present.
Magnus Carlsen
I played like a child!
Magnus Carlsen
My former coach, Simen Agdestein, used to be the best player in Norway.
Magnus Carlsen
I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.
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
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
I'm not really into rap.
Magnus Carlsen
I don't really watch too many movies. I don't have the patience usually to watch one, one and a half or two hours in a row.
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 feel sorry for players who are always lying awake at night, brooding over their games.
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
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
It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people.
