Magnus Carlsen Quotes

People ask what my goal is. I don’t have a goal Picture Quote #1

When you have fun then you’re more interested in learning Picture Quote #1

I love the game, and I love to compete, but I am not obsessed with the struggle Picture Quote #1

I got the travel bug when I was quite young. My parents took me and my sisters out of school and we travelled all over Europe. It was an eye-opening experience and, although I love Norway, I also enjoy visiting new countries. I don’t get homesick Picture Quote #1

I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly Picture Quote #1

Some people think that if their opponent plays a beautiful game, it’s OK to lose. I don’t. You have to be merciless Picture Quote #1

Self-confidence is very important. If you don’t think you can win, you will take cowardly decisions in the crucial moments, out of sheer respect for your opponent. You see the opportunity but also greater limitations than you should. I have always believed in what I do on the chessboard, even when I had no objective reason to. It is better to overestimate your prospects than underestimate them Picture Quote #1

I honestly don’t read that much. Obviously I read chess books - in terms of favorites, Kasparov’s ‘My Great Predecessors’ is pretty good Picture Quote #1

I enjoy hiking and skiing, like most Norwegians. In winter, there will be snow for months on end. In the summer, there are the long evenings to enjoy Picture Quote #1

You need to have that edge, you need to have that confidence, you need to have that absolute belief that you’re the best and that you’ll win every time Picture Quote #1

It’s nice to be financially secure. Apart from that, I really don’t care too much about money Picture Quote #1

Once you’re a chess player, you spend a lot of time thinking about the game and you can’t get it completely out of your head Picture Quote #1

It’s easy for me to get along with chess players. Even though we are all very different, we have chess in common Picture Quote #1

I don’t consider myself a particularly young chess player. I have been playing in the best tournaments in the world since I was 16 years old. In other sports, if you have been playing for seven years, you are not a young prodigy any more. You’re one of the pros Picture Quote #1

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. I was playing a bit online, was using the chess club mainly. Now, obviously, the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at computers as opponents. For me it is much more interesting to beat humans Picture Quote #1

One of the things that first attracted me to chess is that it brings you into contact with intelligent, civilized people - men of the stature of Garry Kasparov, the former world champion, who was my part-time coach Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important Picture Quote #1

Kids love games and chess is a game where you have to sit down and concentrate and it just helps in every way Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately I’m still not a fashion expert Picture Quote #1

Without the element of enjoyment, it is not worth trying to excel at anything Picture Quote #1

People ask what my goal is. I don’t have a goal Picture Quote #1

It’s just not my nature to go around idolizing people Picture Quote #1

My father, a fine chess player himself, has been a massive influence throughout my life Picture Quote #1

I’m not really into rap Picture Quote #1

I played like a child Picture Quote #1

There wasn’t any particular player I modeled my game after. I tried to learn from everyone and create my own style. I studied past players. Truth be told I never had a favorite player. It’s just not my nature to go around idolizing people. I just go try to learn Picture Quote #1

I am not some sort of freak. I might be very good at chess but I’m just a normal person Picture Quote #1
