Magnus Carlsen on his State of Mind during Chess Games -- interview

What is the secret of World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen? In this interview excerpt the Norwegian chess genius talks about his psychological state during chess games, and whether or not he thinks it is a key element of his success.

Stalk me on social media:

[nowekonto]

he's also somehow able to resist Anna's charm which is another superhuman treat

[nikanj]

I wish they'd monitored Anna's heart rate during this interview.

[hoob]

Anna looks so excited, fangirl mode.
I don't blame her.

[aztecachess]

the difference between nakamura's heart rate and carlsen's are the red bulls nakamura drinks.

[regret]

I want a girlfriend who looks at me like Anna looks at Magnus.

[heatherhartman]

i bet he doesn't even have that many leather bound books

[runhomie]

I just want someone who looks at me like Anna looks at Magnus.

[sibakanta]

Frankly speaking.Anna looks like questioning about her chances in his heart.Her expression like cm'n say I love u

[choojunwyng]

Magnus always pictures his magnificent leatherbound books in his mind to calm him down

[twelveytwelve]

His heart rate doesn't get elevated because he either doesn't care about the outcome or he's so confident in what he's doing that he doesn't get nervous.

[adityavv]

Anna loves MC . She ran to get his autograph/selfie in 1 of the tournaments leaving the commentary box.

[andresrossi]

While Anna is asking him about his calm attitude he's already demonstrating he isn't falling into her provocation 😂

[mcloutier]

That's an interesting observation about heart rate. Is it the same when he makes a mistake (if he does) and when he finds a killer more or when he reaches that point, like Fisher said, when the opponent has broken?

[Buckheimer]

They shouldve kept the heart rate monitor on when Anna was interviewing him lol

[berrieblanders]

Magnus Carlsen, you may be the best chess player this world has ever known. But you stay away from my Anna.

[renemtz]

i want someone to look at me the way anna looks at magnus

[grannoobaburrido]

i think magnus was nervous in the interview with you

[casdomdomcas]

No one notices that Anna gets redder as the interview goes on. 😂

[fastpace]

Anna if you see this can you please answer me this: What's the outro music it's so soothing? I enjoyed it during the FR games and forgot about it til now! Please someone tell me!

[TheAntiChrst]

It seems that our Magnus enjoys other things than slightly superior piece end games as well!
