More quotes by Magnus Carlsen
What I admired most about him [Bobby Fischer] was his ability to make what was in fact so difficult look easy to us. I try to emulate him.
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
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 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
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
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'm more interested in the games than the people.
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
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
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
I'm not really into rap.
Magnus Carlsen
I think with chess as with everything, marketing is the main issue.
Magnus Carlsen
My former coach, Simen Agdestein, used to be the best player in Norway.
Magnus Carlsen
I feel sorry for players who are always lying awake at night, brooding over their games.
Magnus Carlsen
I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
Magnus Carlsen
Chess only appeals to quite a small minority. It does not have the cachet of a mainstream popular sport.
Magnus Carlsen
I really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important.
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
When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.
