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
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
You need to have that edge, you need to have that confidence, you need to have that absolute belief that you're - you're the best and you'll win every time.
Magnus Carlsen
I really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important.
Magnus Carlsen
You have to choose the move that feels right sometimes that's what intuition is.
