ONE OF THE BEST MAGNUS INTERVIEWS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

[@johnwest7993]

For a guy who is moderately considerate of the egos of others, Magnus is the most flat-out honest world number 1 at ANYTHING that I've ever seen, especially since he's been the world number 1 for so many years. It's as if it never occurred to him to be either egotistical or humble. You can ask the guy if he thinks he will still be the world number one in 5 years and he will honestly sit there thinking it through until he has figured it out. He has no answer until he has analyzed it thoroughly. But if you ask him who is the best chess player in the world today he will simply say, "Me." No thought is needed because he already knows the correct answer. And saying "Magnus is," is the answer that every GM on the planet will give you with the possible exception of Hans. This is a man who knows and acknowledges exactly where he stands right down to 6 decimal places. I predict that if Hans does beat him in this tournament then Hans will go to interviews making a chest-pounding ass of himself, claiming to be history's greatest chess player, and Magnus will shrug, and finally have some incentive to go home, get some sleep, eat well, hit the prep and crush Hans like a bug in the next tournament. I'm amazed that the guy can rise to the challenge so often when he's been so great for so long. That's what I see as his greatest skill.

[@Krakatit30]

Magnus in general is not arrogant, but extremely objective. He evaluates himself and others with a very high degree of accuracy, which is kinda to be expected from a person who's considered the strongest chess player of all times. Objectivity is a trait than can help a lot in chess, and it's no surprise for me that he also displays this skill in real life.

[@AnantMall]

Beautifully written, enjoyed reading that

[@markhoath44]

Magnus is not only the goat... he's humble and has class. He's everything Hans will never be.. even if he loses... Magnus is the best thing ever to happen to Chess!

Ever? Wow

[@Mayu-26158]

I am not a fan of Hans either, but the guy is 21 years old, and the controversy happened 1-2 years back. People can change drastically over a period of 2-3 years, and he has his whole life ahead of him. I think it's unwise to say that he'll never be as graceful and likeable as other top players.
