ASK MAGNUS CARLSEN A QUESTION!

What is your inspiration?

Do you like chess?

What do you think about the quote “Chess is 99% Tactics.”

Hello!

Do you think the current free resources are enough for someone to learn chess on their own at a professional level?

If in the stone age people didn't have razors, how did they shave?

Do you feel pressure to be the best? Are you able to psych yourself up-like Muhammad Ali or do you feel worried you will let people down and sometimes choke like Messi does at the World Cup or Serena Williams does? Are you able to feel confident and hyper focused like Lance Armstrong and Cristiano Ronaldo? Ali never even really felt he was the greatest he said but he used that language to psych people out...Messi has what spanish people call a "dong", a natural ability as did Maradona. Armstrong (yes armstrong!) and Ronaldo were the most prepared and maybe for that never waivered. But the pressure when you ARE the best seems sometimes so overwhelming. How do you overcome that please? Lots of people choke...in much lesser situations than yours...how do you deal with that? I hate when anyone compliments me on anything because I feel I will let them down the very next moment...it is so much easier to be the underdog.

Which sock do you put on first in the morning? The left, or the right one?

Why did you refuse to defend the title as world champion?
