More quotes by Magnus Carlsen
I don't look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans.
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.

Chess only appeals to quite a small minority. It does not have the cachet of a mainstream popular sport.
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.
