He has a good mix of being funny, arrogant and factually true.

[@renerpho]

But being arrogant in a funny (and often factually true) way.

[@nkznkz3800]

Confidence is not arrogance. Magnus is, and never really was very arrogant. However, if you know you are better, you know. If you crush your opposition on literally every metric, if you know that you are 'smarter' in your life by the virtue of the choices that you make, and yet you still listen intently to those with good advice, you are the polar opposite of 'arrogant'. You are just accurate in your self assessment. Celebrities who are famous for being famous tend to be arrogant. A once-in-a-lifetime genius that knows he is one and acts like it is just confident. It's usually just people without any remarkable talents that would weigh up with such people that will confuse confidence for arrogance.

[@josuke21]

@@nkznkz3800 you are right

[@massimilianodendena5259]

The fact that Magnus looks arrogant just for saying what the truth is just underlines how above the others he is. I mean, if all you do is crushing your opponents and then say "yea i crushed him", it's simply both funny and honest

@@HumorOfANerd Not just chess, he's insanely good at fantasy football too. So I assume his general brainpower is highly above average = genius. And I'm actually happy so see it, the odds of him being the one getting interviewed as the "drunk" at football game is just funny though.

It’s wild that Carlsen is so dominant in chess that he can just state factually true things and it sounds like bragging.

[@manojlds]

All bragging is factually true things. You can't brag that your are richest person in the world....without being the richest person in the world.

[@LL-wc4wn]

@@manojldsSo basically "bragging" is a word to shame people who actually accomplished incredible things for being very proud of themselves for accomplishing incredible things. Call me a bragger every day of the week then! Id rather brag than lie about accomplishing things that i actually didnt accomplish. Go Magnus!

[@matthewaxe6647]

@@LL-wc4wn The point about bragging is that it is considered vulgar to press your success onto people rather than letting it speak for itself. It is usually indicative of poor character and the result of either insecurity and/or narcissism.

[@LL-wc4wn]

@@matthewaxe6647 what if your success happens privately and people are unaware? How can it speak for itself in that case? (Which is most people's successes in life) What if Magnus's success was kept private... And he was still the same world champion chess player... Are you saying that he cannot tell people about all his wins and world championships (which are not at all public knowledge) and if he does that he is bragging and narcissistic? So you are saying no private successes can be mentioned? And only those lucky enough to have successes that speak for themselves because... They ARE public.. are allowed to get credit for their success?

[@hubertcumberdale2078]

Magnus carlsen is definitely one of the players of chess

just too good to be true

[@DavidBadilloMusic]

His last point is very true! Only because a game position is basically a draw it doesn't mean you have to stop playing. Only because a game position is lost it doesn't mean you have to stop playing. Your opponent can make a mistake. You have to keep playing in order for that to happen!

[@boomnailedit1609]

That’s why I never surrender. #650life

[@forrestrichard8133]

As a 650 rated player. Nothing is a draw until it’s a draw. And even though that line gets much thinner as a GM he has a point. It’s never too late for your opponents confidence to get the best of them. Even in games I’m losing I’ll play all the way to the end. It’s especially funny to get to a king and pawn endgame or something similar only for your opponent to realize they have no idea how to checkmate you and end up in a stalemate.

[@carterseiber6653]

Dude doesn’t have idols because he knows he’s the main protagonist. 🤣

Funny with Fabiano, he probably made Magnus go into competitive by just saying: "Ive won plenty of tournaments with you in them". Probably lost him the match :P We all know Magnus hated to lose. Probably one of the reasons he withdrew as a world champ is that he didn't like the thought of ending with a loss, and there is the fact that he has been bored with the state of chess for years now. He got to the top, enjoyed the view, and got bored. None of the opponents could excite him anymore.
