'I want to beat everybody': Magnus Carlsen, world No.1 chess player | Lunch with Sumiko

[@Viva-la-de-hs4ub]

Great line of questioning. Overall a good interview sumiko !

[@dhirenrai3409]

This interview perfectly captures not just Magnus Carlsen's competitive mindset but also his humble and down-to-earth personality. Thanks, Sumiko, for such an insightful conversation with the legend himself! 👏♟

[@jamiee1947]

I love that Magnus said the same thing about classical chess that Bobby Fishcer did in his old interview. Chess has become a game of memory. It is all about who can memorize the most. That is why I made Fischer Random/ chess960/Freestyle chess so that there can be 'fun' in the game again.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

This only applies to the elite. Lower rank amateur chess will never get boring, always inaccuracies and mistakes, blunders 😂

[@Phymacss]

Omg as a classical music and chess fan, I’m happy you are doing this with magnus after doing it with twoset! Feels nostalgic lol

[@Chesssing]

This color really suits him

[@teslaa108]

The greatest of all time

[@poonam5467]

this was a very good interview. It seemed to have a little something for everything related to him which is always nice but also different than his usual interviews

[@ChessDoctorsOrigins]

He's got so much better at these types of things, but I guess he is not so crazy focused on just winning anymore. Good to see him relaxed and just talking openly.

[@narnooshho8296]

Good interview. A breath of fresh air. I think ST does much better at this than trying to report world news 😅.

[@renishisrael9520]

LOL. People salty about the fact that Magnus is still "World Champion." He is, and he would be like 5-1 or 4.5-1.5 after game 6 in the current match against either Ding or Gukesh, given the mistakes they are making. He crushed Nepo who was in-form and flawless till game 6.

[@tute4748]

What a guy. He deserves all the credit. Love the raw honesty and winning mentality. That's what champions are made of.

[@Nafim-kv6rg]

3:00 Magnus with 11 water bottles 😂

[@amitwadodkar7738]

Really! Magnus should reconsider fighting for the world championship. Who all agree?

[@Sam-dw7by]

Side quest magnus

[@24b_chiragnayak5]

Bro takes Side Quests to a different level. Freestyle, Rapping, TakeTakeTake!? All while bullying top players constantly.

[@DAngelo-pm3bg]

The said he's "World Champion"🏆🏆 like Ding was something we ever heard of 😂😂😂 R.I.P DINGAPORE🙏

[@alvinong1959]

Great interview, Sumiko! Good that Magnus Carlsen seems more relaxed as the interview progressed. I am sure that H as an avid chess player would love this interview too!

[@Clashon12]

Fisher Random should be introduced for GM and IMs in the classical match. All sorts of openings have played already and there is no creativity left in the opening. In today's world championship match R6, approximately 20 moves were played just with opening preparation. Their creativity starts in middlegame where all theory has ended, and if someone hasn't memorized openings properly then the opponent will get the advantage in the middlegame.

[@Praava7]

Love Magnus! The GREATEST CHESS PLAYER TO EVER LIVE!

[@saurabhgavali3935]

Wow 🎉🎉🎉 Magnus

[@itaintinnit]

Excellent questions. A top tier interview, well done. Just wished it was longer! Cheers.

Good interview

I still can't believe I'm undefeated in chess after 42 years

[@Dontknow-ed8uy]

I don't know maybe they're afraid to play me

[@ohnoZomBri]

I was invested in them eating that yummy-looking food this whole video. Great interview, looking forward to watching some freestyle chess!

[@MordrinNaeblis]

Magnus is the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐

[@afterneet4421]

Very wholesome

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

I said it before… Capablanca - bible of chess, Fischer the church, Kasparov high priest, … Sven Øen - GOD

Great vid and interview! Texas loves Magnus

[@oliver-04]

amazing interview!!!!

[@luk2k3]

Came here after reading the article. great questions.

[@saelaird]

Champion mindset

[@Marpat-Camo]

Great player and person to listen to. Very well spoken!

[@YankiStraik]

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con el. El ajedrez freestyle da esa sensación de estar en un lugar completamente nuevo cada vez, haciendo que todo sea una sorpresa , con nuevas e interesantes tácticas y trucos de magia muy hermosos de ver.

[@BlueGlobe360]

what a humble goat

[@jerryschen]

Part of Magnus just wants to quietly eat that delicious Singaporean food

[@akshaychordia8583]

Which player beat him? Karjakin?

[@Philopantheon82]

Karjakin

[@murugesanvivekanandhan1883]

no i think its Duda, coz we see in magnus's bio that he wrote that quote after the 2021 World Championship considering the time period, Duda beat him in the Semi finals in the world cup and after that beat him in the champions chess tour and they asked magnus if it was good to get revenge and he replied with this quote then

[@akshathkumar9135]

@@murugesanvivekanandhan1883 yes it was duda

[@sadiqabdulsobur5410]

And he continue to dominate Duda since ❄️

[@wasekbitto6469]

This interview is a general recommendation for MC haters all over the world.

[@nikhildawani2913]

Bro you seriously thing Magnus has any haters??all I look on his videos are people calling him Goat and prasing hin

[@daquayatcherson]

I'm new to Chess, but I can't help but to feel Magnus doesn't seem like he wants to be there at all. Every time I've seen him he seems irritated, or slightly condescending.

[@droidgeist]

Your newness to chess is definitely showing in this comment, yeah. There are times when he can be irritable, but most of the time his condescension is actually cheekiness. He's generally very good humoured and likeable, and easygoing away from stressful tournaments.

[@dark_magician_sdy]

Excellent

[@fangiscool1]

Theyre trying so hard to remove Fischer from chess. It's Fischer chess or Fischer random. It is not freestyle chess.

[@44r0n-9]

Fighting for the name "Fischer Random" is a losing battle for you. Freestyle Chess is overall a name that is way easier to market, even aside all the controversies surrounding Fischer.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

😂😂😂😂 “remove”

[@rkstark5802]

3:30 hans and?

[@nb-cb5mq]

Karjakin

[@jessicaregina1956]

Wonder if he was late and if he was carrying a water bottle.

[@Alexander-dt2eq]

the normal one

[@mcawesome4150]

4:00 Maybe because russian players are banned?

[@manuelschreibe1163]

They are not. They just either play under the FIDE flag or changed federation

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

So sad that Magnus and everyone are washing away the true inventor, Bobby Fischer, and call it freestyle chess. It was invented by Bobby Fischer ❤

[@The_Leprechaun98]

Cool

[@-_Nuke_-]

Why do they call it freestyle chess? Wasn't Fischer that invented it!? The name is Fischer Random - at least show some respect to the creator.

[@Qbifv92647]

I guess he's considered too problematic to have his name attached

[@Nafim-kv6rg]

It isnt like he "invented" it.He reintroduced it among the top players.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

Why a Coca-Cola and not a Pemberton?? After all he invented it… SMH, sensitive people

He is world no 1 player by Rating But not world champion He gave up that The world championships most likely will be won by 18 yr. Old Indian D gukesh Which will be the youngest world champion, Way younger than magnus

[@GaugeSymm]

Lol Magnus would've smoked Gukesh by now in the WC given that Gukesh has been in losing positions in almost all the games against Ding. You must be brand new to chess.

[@slaiyfershin]

oh shut up u obvious biased indian.

​@@GaugeSymmalright I will say it... Stop it both of you before it gets nasty

[@Phymacss]

“But not world champion” if he plays he’ll still be the world champion, it’s just that he won’t gain anything from playing in the wcc because everyone already knows he’s the best!

nah im right . if he plays classical against gukesh arjun prag nodirbek wei yi he will be crushed thats y hes not playing so much classical cz he knows and he want to be relevent

@@sumitchoudhary4581 he’s better than them all, and he does play classical sometimes and crushes them.

[@yashamonker]

@@sumitchoudhary4581 what you are doing is "speculating", which is far from reality. Magnus is a beast when he is motivated... every player is afraid of him for a reason. & what were Pragg, Arjun, Nodribek doing during Tata Steel Rapid & Blitz 2024? Why couldn't they beat Magnus? They come so much prepared, meanwhile Magnus casually appears in the tournament & secures the 1st spot every time!?
