More quotes by Magnus Carlsen
It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people.
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
When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.
Magnus Carlsen
I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.
Magnus Carlsen
Unfortunately I'm still not a fashion expert.
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
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'm not really into rap.
Magnus Carlsen
I'm more interested in the games than the people.
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
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'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
People ask what my goal is. I don't have a goal.
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
You have to choose the move that feels right sometimes that's what intuition is.
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
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
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.
