More quotes by 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
It's just not my nature to go around idolizing people.

It's nice to be financially secure. Apart from that, I really don't care too much about money.
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
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
Unfortunately I'm still not a fashion expert.
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 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.
