If a time machine could transport any chess player from any era to today, and that person had a long time to improve their knowledge of theory and other improvements since their time, whom would you most like to play against in a long, PRIVATE match? Why that person?
What would you like to ask Magnus Carlsen?
Sort:
Hikaru Nakamura is an intense rival of yours, and it's very possible you'll be defending your title against him within a few years. Does being so close in age concern you any?

You has said you're lazy. Yet you won very easily. Do you compare yourself with Capablanca (or any other champion)?
Which previous WC match is your all-time favorite match, and why?

my question:magnus,we all know that you played better than anand ,as a result you are the winner. But as an opponent player what do you think, particularly in which field Anand failed to do better? For example like in opening,middlegame or tactical calculation?
Hi Magnus, congratulation for the deserved title. I wonder Magnus if you have any plans to visit third world countries like mine (Guatemala in Central América) as to promote the game and give some simuls to your fans?
Now that you have won it all... the highest award to be achieved in the chess world... how much is chess present in your future plans? Are you planning to do it as long as you feel like it - since you already get enough money to live off of from your side businesses and sponsorships - or in a lesser degree than before? Or are you planning to hold the title as long as possible?
If you compare the level of today's top players with those 100 years ago, how big do you think the difference in playing strength is if you would express it in Elo?

What are the best games of chess you know? Can you explain?
Which games were the most inspiring games for you?
When Topalov was playing in Bulgaria did that not seem to be an advantage for Topalov. Did history repeat itself and was the fact that Anand played in India a disadvantage for him? (It was not a problem for Hou Yifan though.)
If you go head to head with Kasparov with the same classical format, do you think you will win?
