More quotes by Magnus Carlsen
People ask what my goal is. I don't have a goal.
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
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 really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important.
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 just not my nature to go around idolizing people.
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
When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.
Magnus Carlsen
I think with chess as with everything, marketing is the main issue.
