Magnus Carlsen: ‘I just want to win one more tournament!’
World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen hasn’t won a tournament since
Altibox Norway Chess in mid-October, and even then a last-round loss to Levon
Aronian took some of the gloss off the win. In the aftermath of losing the
final of the Opera Euro Rapid to Wesley So, Magnus talked to Ilya Levitov about
his motivation, how he feels the World Championship should be decided and much
more. Magnus explained that when he was young he was “spooked” when he played
Russians, since he thought they knew everything!
