I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
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
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
I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.
Magnus Carlsen
I played like a child!
Magnus Carlsen
I was lucky enough to attend schools where they were understanding about when I needed to go abroad to play chess. Of course, socially it is important to go to school and interact with people your own age.
Magnus Carlsen

Magnus Carlsen
