More quotes by 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've never really had a favorite player, past or present.
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
I feel sorry for players who are always lying awake at night, brooding over their games.
Magnus Carlsen
Kids love games and chess is a game where you have to sit down and concentrate and it just helps in every way.
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.

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
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
When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.
Magnus Carlsen
I'm not really into rap.
Magnus Carlsen
I played like a child!
Magnus Carlsen
I really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important.
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 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 don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
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
Chess only appeals to quite a small minority. It does not have the cachet of a mainstream popular sport.
Magnus Carlsen
Contrary to many young Colleagues, I do believe that it makes sense to study the Classics.
