Carlsen is the only dude who can look so disinterested and interested at the same time😂😂😂

[ariavachier-lagravech.]

The worst he can say is no
"Something must have gone wrong with my life for me to be running FIDE"

[IsangBigotelyo]

Him explaining why Fischers should have classical time controll and classical games should have shorter time is such a goat move

[Occupant]

I think one of the most enduring parts of his legacy will be not defending his world title. It's such a blow to FIDE's credibility that the best player in the world isn't interested. I think part of his decision is strategic, to weaken FIDE's control of top-level chess so the game can grow in new and interesting directions.

How do you want the world to remember Magnus Carlsen?
"I want to play for a while still, so I don't want to be remembered anytime soon." 🐐👑

[VirtueSignal]

we’re all lucky to be around during this fellas reign, what an ambassador for the game 🐐

3:17 "Triple crown the FIRST time was fun" 😂😂😂

[tecTitus]

high praise to Fischer from Magnus. Basically confirming what Bobby said and also wanted for chess

[mikewarner]

I'm actually really pumped about fischer random at long time controls.

[Oenloveslife]

Such a lucid and utterly honest man. Thank you Magnus for bringing this level of honesty to us.

[SkateFallen]

"if you want to find the best player in the world, you don't have to look through all the time controls. You can just look for my name"

what a gigachad lol

[ravivaradhan]

A refreshingly candid admission that he is not a creative player and, in that same regard, an interesting comparison with Anand! Magnus has shown time and again that the key to chess success is a mastery of the endgame, but most strong players tend to get bogged down in opening preparations and devote less time to endgames.

[TheLyingLeft]

I 100% agree with Magnus. The "best chess player" shouldn't just be all about study, prep, openings and variations. It should be THE BEST CHESS PLAYER at everything CHESS, period.

[md.mohaiminulislam]

nepo is following magnus's approach, he is playing wild lines in the opening to play positions that will test his opponent's chess knowledge rather than opening prep

[nicolasdhulst]

There should be a new 'overall' world championship format. Simplify everything. Only rating spots. Average FIDE rating of blitz, rapid and classical over the last year, 8 highest rated players(excluding the current champion) play a candidates tournament. Format for the World Championship Match could be 3 mini-matches for example: 6 classical games, 12 rapid games, 24 blitz games. Maybe even a Fisher-Random round? That would bring out the best player overall and would be incredibly awesome to watch.

Terrific interview... Love the idea of fantasy chess, hope we get that asap. What he said about Chess and Chess 960 makes perfect sense; What ppl dont realize and fide as well, is the theory rn is totally diff than the past and combined with all the engine there are today, makes no sense at all to still playing the old classical format, we are in a different era, dont need to abolish the classical control, but lower a bit its the obviously needed change.

[marcoperaltadedios]

the second the word FIDE came out of her mouth you could feel the vibe tensing af and when he said that he was independent from them was like GLORIOUS man you felt the chills too right? so proper for the one and only Magnánimo, Magnate, Majestuoso Carlsen

[Justheretomakemoney]

"Something seriously would have gone wrong in my life to be running FIDE" - Magnus

[debrascott]

You can see him come to life when he is talking about new and exciting things, and when he thinks the questions are boring. Fantasty chess sounds amazing.

[lindsaygaga]

The title should read "The GOAT on being Magnus Carlsen"
