   I apologize for not getting this out sooner, but last week, on Chessbase, there was a great interview posted, that VG-TV, a Norwegian television channel did with the new World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen. Naturally, it's in Norwegian, but it was translated into English.

 

   There are several screengrabs of it at key points but you can watch the entire interview there as well with English subtitles. You can find out his superstitions, what fuels his self-confidence, the secret behind blindfold chess, and the last thing that made him cry. It's a great interview for Magnus fans and chess fans in general so take a look at it when you have some free time. You'll be glad you did.

 

   Have a great day everyone!  Laughing
