What would you tell your 12-year-old self, now that you're older and wiser?

Could you give me the patterns and methods behind your calculations? It would help me immensely with my play. Perhaps, someday, I may even become a worthy opponent... In the meantime, I want to try some games against stronger players than I. I hope my question is answered!

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but Magnus already answered this exact question before. He said he'd play 1.Nf3 and go for a slow positional game, to feel out how well his alien opponents understand chess.

What sort of books do you read when you aren't studying or playing chess?

How are you so handsome??

I've been stuck at around 1700 FIDE for a long time. How to get out of such a rating stall?

If you could go back in time and tell your past self something, what would it be?

If you had a chance to improve your strength significantly in a certain aspect of chess (openings, tactics, endings, strategy), which one would you choose?

If you're playing the 12th match of a World Championship under time pressure and the score is 5.5-5.5, and you have a choice between a safe draw and a risky move that could potentially be winning for you but also could backfire, which one would you go for?
