This is a man who just completed his life's work. Calm, insightful, appreciative of young players, congratulating the hosts, and thankful for his fans. A true champion.
Well said man.
thank YOU too for summarising the interview so concisely!
Yep :D
Completely
I appreciate your words!@@bewarsu
Magnus best opponents so far:
GM Food poisoning - 2810
GM Being late - 2760
GM Drunk - 2690
GM Vibrator dude - 2530
Truly the goat.
Goated comment 😂
Prag should have used the American opening against Magnus, then magnus wouldn't have a chance.
Edit:= It involves sneaking an AR 15 into the tournament
Add Procrastination
@@tirthankardas3737 Learn to understand a joke.
one of the best comment i saw in a long time
I feel a sense of regret that we are seeing the career closing phase of one of the greatest chessplayers, Magnus!
Yea Magnus even mentioned that the new generation of players, those born in 2003 and after, that the time is close for them to take over. Basically, the era of Carlsen, Nakamura, Caruana, Ding, etc, that era will soon come to an end. I'd say by the end of this decade. But yea it's kinda sad.
But it's also delightful to watch the new generation mature like Prag, abdusatrov or keymer
He's far from done. He may be playing less classical but he's still the top player by a huge margin.
He's just done with Classical. His soul still burns for chess!
True, but he has potential to do a lot of great things with the life he has remaining. I think it will always involve the ambassador role in chess, but I would like to think he will find the urge to do a lot of good in life with his resources. I don't think we will see him move into the grouchy elder role that a previous WCC seems to be..
There can be no doubt Magnus is the best ever. Not only for the way he plays chess, but his influence of the entire culture of chess for years now.
Best in terms of ‘plays the best chess’? Of course.
Influence on the culture of chess? There are several players in history who compare.
@@henrykaspar3634 Like who? And before you start dropping names of past legends, keep in mind that Magnus is the present, so his influence is way more impactful to the current generation. I would love to be around when Capablanca, Lasker, Tal, or Fischer were ruling the Chess world, but I wasn't. And I was too young when Kasparov was dominating. So there's something special about being able to witness and watch Magnus's reign ever since he won it in 2013.
@@ksham. anand in terms of cultural impact. magnus was the best but Anand brought all of Asia to Chess
I would have loved to have seen Bobby continue in his prime and let's not forget not in the last 25 years these players have not had the resources to play on the internet or get information to build their strength and knowledge, so I agree Magnus is the GOAT but he had a lot of help to get to where he is now.
@@yai4486 oh absolutely. Anand's impact is huge, probably bigger than Magnus's. But as I said, anyone from the current generation would look up to Magnus the most, simply because he's the best in the present time. I have friends, who play chess casually, don't know who Capablanca, Lasker, etc. are. They don't even know Anand, but they've of Magnus, Hikaru, etc. I'm not taking away the amazing contributions of the past legends, but there's something special about the present legends with the current generation.
Congrats to Magnus Carlsen, the best ever! Congrats to Pragg, the future of chess!
History intersecting itself.
Alireza could be the future of chess if he wasn't so crazy.
@diogeneslaertius3365 it's sad for chess but it's their choice
Just like how morphy left chess
You could tell it meant the world to Naroditsky when Magnus told them to keep up the good work. These GM’s have a such love for the game and to receive compliments from the best in the world hits deep I’m sure
When Magnus talks about the Keymer thing. Pay attention : this is how a person who came up with the moves on their own answers a question about their reasoning vs the *other* guy.
Oof
@@bobeyay Exactly - oof. Imagine if Magnus just said at that point "I don't have to talk about moves." It would be a double question mark blunder right there on the spot lol
Who is this "other" guy? Sorry i didn't know a thing.

Magnus Carlsen is definitely the people's Champion.
I'm really grateful to be around in the Magnus era. I've been following his journey ever since his draw against Kasparov in Reykjavik when I was a kid myself. Its amazing to see how far hes gotten since then. Congrats from Northern Norway!
wow, rockin' the super old school Tritton AX 720 headset I see. Love it!
The mark of a human is how one behaves when one has power. And Magnus here is congratulating and praising people. Excellent character.
So basically he did this to remind everyone who is the best classical player in the world. 😂
Basically
Yes lol...
Magnus is such a nice dude, so happy for him, one of the greatest players of all time and not only is he the best player, he's even nicer human being, i just love this guy, there's nothing better than a guy who knows he's the best but at the same time humble and respectful as a human being.
It's always a golden age when it comes to chess, but this era feels particularly special.
Tiger woods like dominance
@@sagnaik in what way are you saying that ?? just check the stats between them lol you will find the answer 😂
@@Ali-cu3gwyou obviously haven’t kept with with chess since the pandemic
@@ky0kami why don't you people check the stats just because Nakamura won a few games doesn't mean shit and speed championship title is an unofficial title lol
@@sagnaikno one is even close in his accolades lol. Even your Nakamura who was dubbed as blitz specialist never won any World Rapid/Blitz Championship
PS: Just to let you know that if Magnus was not on this era. Every time control is up for grabs by multiple GM’s, no one would dominate like the way he’s doing it
What a great interview. A lot of room for thought between question and answers, just excellent. Compliments to the expert commentators and congrats to Magnus!
it's called delay in transmission... that's what the 'room for thought' was actually
As an Indian he is real GOAT of chess. I wish best of luck to pragg.
Pragg was great. He'll get it in the future for sure
I am a Filipino and a Magnus fan, but Prag is already in my top 5-10 favorite players.. future world champion for sure!!

What a class act. To think and remember about thanking the hosts and commentators in a moment like this really is a great display of his character.
It’s a true testament to Danya and Peter’s commentary when it can be entertaining for a beginner like me and the best player in the world 🌎
Magnus' dominance shows he's the goat of chess. Truly one of a kind.
Huge congratulations GOAT 👋! I am soooooooooo HAPPY that you won 😍. What an incredible interview with Magnus. Thank you champ for your thought provoking insights and take on the present quality and status of Chess in the world. May you entertain (and make us HAPPY) for MANY more years. Much respect and congratulations xxx
He is such a great guy! It's pretty rare to have a GOAT in a sport that is laidback, funny, calm and as humble as Magnus. This dude has proven his domainance over and over. He truly is the people's champ and he deserves every achievement he made.
im not a world champion, and even not good at chess, but i also know that you guys are doing a wonderful job in your coverage. this is the 1st time that i have followed a chess tournament closely because of your commentaries. keep up the splendid work Sir's!
They really are superb
Peter Leko is my favorite commentator. He has great chemistry with all of his co-commentators.
@@tgwnn i think his ability to provide deep but at the same time easy to follow explanations is really incredible
peter leko goat
Imagine planning to have vacations to Baku and because some of your plans failed, you decide to register to FIDE chess world cup 2023 at the last moment and win it. Yeah that's the GOAT.
Its so fascinating watching Magnus go thru the game in his head with Vincent, and remember nuances and what he was thinking and feeling. Incredible.
Those two commentaries did a great job! Love their work
Even Magnus acknowledges the commentary of Leko and Danya over the course of this tournament!
Just awesome interview. Let Magnus talk. Thanks Daniel and Peter, you made him talk and did not interupt him. Thanks!! ❤
Youre an Absolute legend Magnus, I knew you'd do it. I'm in New Zealand so the times haven't been the greatest to be able to watch you but I had to see how the tiebreak went. Here's hoping they do make a change to the world title time controls. Personally I think the games are too long and players leaving the table to hang out in another room while playing kind of highlights this aspect. While my girlfriend hates me staying up too late she respects my passion for the game and I really believe the game is great for your brain. Thanks Magnus, Peter and Daniel. This world cup was excellent and I'm a bit sad it's over but that means it was so good.
Worthy winner and how nice of Magnus to applaud the commentators for their work!
Great interview with interesting questions and no akward moments, thank you 🙏
It's impressive and maybe sad to see maybe this might be his last major classical chess tournament, since his career is already completed. 🐐
During his reign as world chess champion, Magnus held the torch high for the sport. Even as the game experienced significant changes: proliferation of online chess. His brilliancy still shines
The Greatest Of All Times 🐐🐐🐐
That is Messi
@@TeodoroCruz-od1duHe is, but for football
@@TeodoroCruz-od1du Messi plays Chess now? 🤔
Magnus clear of messi. Magnus level of domination is another level to messi.
@@TeodoroCruz-od1du lol. So you're saying Messi is the goat of boxing as well?
Leko for me is the best commentator, love his sharp insights and cute manner. What a find!
According to magnus
1st Gukesh
2nd Pragg
3rd Vincent
Are strongest..
While gukesh is just 17 and pragg is just 18 ..great young generation played infront of old generation chess masters and magnus itself ❤❤ it will make them more beast in the future .
I would say that at their strongest right now is:
Gukesh - Middle game
Pragg - Opening
Keymer - End game
He is playing the psychological game dear! Pls understand that .....Prag is the only hope against him..to tell Prag is second to gukesh , he is just playing another wider game! Magnus is goat(rightfully so) , never ever forget that! He ll defend it to his last. Vishy has that knowledge ....n he clearly warned these kids. Magnus had food poisoning ...whatever!
@@sujitmohanty1lol he doesnt care dude... He is almost at the dawn of his prime. 22 year old Magnus was invincible
And thank you to the commentators for well worded questions and insights.
Think about it for a second. magnus keep his rating above 2800 since 2008. I follow chess closely since 2007 it's safe to say magnus won most of tournaments he joins thats insanely crazy.
The scary thing is=Magnus never go below 2800,while thousands or more gm will never reach 2800 in their entire life
I came to know magnus right after the series queen's gambit. I did not see the rise of his career but i am happy to have witnessed his greatness towards the eventual retirement.
MAGNUS WILL REMAIN A LEGEND IN HISTORY BOOKS FOR TIMES IMMEMORIAL..SALUTE TO THIS SPECIAL HUMAN BEING ..LOVE FROM INDIA❤
O melhor jogador de xadrez que já existiu! Parabéns, Magnus!
Magnus Carlos
Magnus looks like a super chef now
This was a very good interview. Each generation since the early 1900s has someone who is considered the greatest because they are building on the success of their predecessors. Carlsen is one of the greatest players for sure, but others will come to stand on his shoulders as he has stood on the shoulders of those who preceded him.
It's hard to imagine a player to surpass his peaks. At that point it's an engine
@@soupisfornoobs4081 Not really. For example, Fischer, Karpov, and Kasparov were more dominant against their opponents than Magnus is over his. He might be the GOAT (very close between him and Kasparov) but we will see a better player in a few years. That's always whats happened in chess history.
@@samiesta9996 I think the reason why magnus is not as dominant as them is engines they have helped Black more than white
Btw do you know who has been the most successful player with the black pieces after 70s
In a few years? I don't think so. We can never know the future for sure but for someone to surpass Magnus in a few years he should've already been at the top but none of the youngers are even close to Magnus yet.
@@mathematicalmonk1427
1st - "The engine has helped black more than white" - That statement is factually false. At the highest level, many popular and aggressive lines for black were invalidated due to engine theory. That's where the phrase "At super GM level, a draw with black pieces is a win." comes from. For example, Sicilian Dragon and Benko are almost never played at the GM level.
2nd - It doesn't only depends on the number of wins. Fischer, Kasparov, and Karpov were always expected to win super GM tournaments. In fact, it was considered a massive upset if they come 2nd place. Magnus never achieved that level of dominance.
Magnus is probably my 2nd favorite player of all time but I was just pointing out that it's almost a guarantee that we'll see a better player than him in the next 10-15 years.
A relieved, calm, and satisfied Magnus.
Congrats!
He had the epic chance of saying "The gif speaks for itself", im sad he did not take it
This man is more than a champion. He is a true artist. Congratulations!
Really? I don’t really think of Magnus’ games as that aesthetically pleasing. He’s pretty positional and he’s a grinder.
@mikecantreed you are a dog that eats trash and your father is your mother and nobody sees value in your existence. Cry more baby bich
@@mikecantreed The art is not necessarily his games, the art is the man himself. He thinks and behaves like an artist, I can see it in his eyes. Kasparov and Fisher were true fighters. Karpov and Anand, strategist. Magnus is a true artist.
COMPROMISE: 1 game per day. 20 games total. 90 + 30 time control which means 30 second increment (rather than the standard 120/60/15 + 30). Literally cuts the time in half. 90 + 30 is actually not very much time. Fabiano has described this time control as "not very forgiving." [Citation - interview at 2022 American Cup]. Furthermore, 90 + 30 is now becoming the classical de-facto standard in many events. This is a compromise from Magnus's proposal of, say, 30 games at 2 games per day with time control 60 + 30.
The chess community couldn’t have a more likable champion.
Awesome Magnus . You are now really the all time greatv👏👏👏
The commentators, Danya and Peter Leko, were highly professional and superb with their analysis on the games they commented on. I learnt much. Congrats to all concerned, including chess24, for the coverage.
Heartiest congratulations Magnus!
Well done!
Prag, all the best next time!
After won everything, please don't resign from the chess world Magnus!
Would love if we can see you participate again in the Candidates! *fingerscrossed
I think he Gave up on world champ title to play the candidates , I truly think it
In my opinion he will go for the title again,the only thing that he hasnt done and only another player (Botvinnik) has is to regain the title,i hope he'll do it
@@eduardovalle7268 He's already decided not to play in the candidates. The only reason to play in the candidates is to go for the title again, which he isn't interested in.
he still has to prove that he's better than Hikaru in bullet
He's not. @@aliadnan7710
Very cool seeing magnus in this stage of his chess career.
Hopefully from this point forward he can enjoy chess on his terms as it appears kasparov and annand are.
Magnus is elegantly brutal
Magnus plays chess like SRV played guitar. It’s music that flows unimpeded from his soul.
It’s nice to hear he still cares about classical
Wow...!! What a champion..... What a great human being Magnus is.... Loved this interview. ❤
What about changing the classical chess rules to 1 hour with an increment of 30 seconds per move the first 40 moves (80 minutes in total), and 15 minutes for the rest of the game with an increment of 30 seconds per move starting from move 41?
Crazy that Chess is so timeless that Magnus Carlsen will be spoken about in hundreds of years. I don’t think there’s another sport where that could be possible.
We talk about players of the past in soccer, basketball, NFL, Hokey. Maybe chess feels special because a retired player still publishes books and so on, and may even keep playing like Kasparov still does sometimes, and chess history is well recorded, chess knowledge is general is very incremental and depends on past masters, other sports are very different in that regard.
'another'😂😂. Jokes aside there is this thing. It's called the Olympics.
Perhaps track and field with Jesse Owens, or boxing with Jack Dempsey and Mohamed Ali. MMA with Randy Couture or Anderson Silva. Royce Gracie will always be known as the guy who brought Gracie Ju-Jitsu to the Northern Hemisphere, Hélio Gracie who invented it; or Gichen Funakoshi who developed Shotokan Karate. I suppose, in particular, in the martial arts, the names and techniques of founders tend to live on for generations. He probably will be remembered among the most dominant in his time; and yet good-natured, informal and sportsman-like.
yea and old player still play chess for fun some times, so we could still see their games. chess is a mental sport, not a physical sport, so our brain can still be smart when we are older, but our body grows weaker
@@rohangeorge712 Old athletes in other sports can still do exhibition matches, but Magnus is still strong enough to probably win the World Championship again - if he so chooses.
Carlsen dominated his generation by a large margin. He's consistently above 2800 in all 3 games format. You have caruana a monster in classical but not so great at blitz. You have nakamura a great blitz but not so great in classica. Magnus is good at all 3 formats. Lets not forget he almost broke 3000 in blitz rating.
Carlsen has definitely dominated. But to say that Nakamura is not so great in classical is a bit weird when he is currently rated second in the world in classical.
@@buddibernadotte he's great but not consistent as Magnus.
Magnus takes lesser time to calculate 7-8 steps than the time he takes to think and talk a sentence 😅😂
His words carry weight in the chess world so probably he was trying his best to not give any false impression, being too arrogant.
English isn't everyone's first language...and if he starts speaking norwegian fluently then nobody's gonna understand 😅
@@Fearlesstrader_ I was joking 🥲
Congrats Carlsen ! Incredible job Pragg !
motivation is his only problem. He reminds to me the final scene of Conan the Barbarian when Conan sits on the throne playing with his sword with a bored face. No more enemies around to kill
Magnus just keeps on proving himself . What a champion and Legend .
Dude, the level of understanding of chess and how Magnus remembers every nuance of every game is unbelievable. Congrats to the GOAT!
Danya, Magnus and Leko thats a wonderful combination
It just like meeting Beethoven someone important in history great games woderfull to follow. The Greatest chess player in history!!
Magnus hair looks like a mix between Vincent Keymer hair and Hans Niemann hair
The way he plays end game, feels like he is a different person altogether. Amazing
Real champion Magnus...🎉🎉
Sincere congratulations king Magnus 🫡🔱
thank you daniel and peter and of course all the commentators we had in this tournament. thanks to the players and of course the greatest of all time magnus carlsen
I take full support on his suggestion to modify time control
for WCC. Chess has evolved a lot recently (online chess has exploded online) and will only make it more exiting and attractive to many if somehow this is adpoted. I look forward to many exciting events. Also as a special wish list, I really would love to see a kind of like Melody Amber chess tournament put back toghether were we can fully appreciate our champions virtuosity and extraordinary skills playing blind chess! Thanks Magnus for this happy for you feeling! Gens una sums!
stuff like that doesn't go unnoticed, neil
Incredible how top chess players remember all of their moves from previous games.
It is pretty simple actually. They play at least 100 games with the same lines and then study what went wrong. The life of a GM :)
The pressure at the highest level is immense, not that I would know anything about it.
Es ist ein würdiger Abschluss,dieses großen Turniers in Baku. Der Sieger Magnus Carlsen, hat seinen Traum Wirklichkeit werden lassen. Alles Gute weiterhin und liebe Grüße aus Paderborn -Moenkeloh Germany, Ralf Franz

That's completely impossible to determine.
Yup, the only ones who disagree are the same kind of people who thinks Ronaldo was better than Messi! In other words - people who should work in a cirkus like a 🤡
the format he proposes for the WC makes so much sense
danya @ leko always gave magnus time to think and never interrupted him. GREAT interviewing.
also great interview ^_^
Magnus really said “The meme gif speaks for itself”
Magnus Carlsen is choosing to not go the way Bobby Fischer went
He is giving his exit to chess a style for upcoming record breakers to struggle
Legend.. this is chess history for future generations !
Erling Haaland and magnus carlsen 🇳🇴 norways two gems 💎.
I think it's very comparable like Lionel Messi. Both almost retiring, yet still winning the world cup recently.
He is very similar to Messi too in term of country event
Messi struggle to win world cup because no many star players in argentine
While Magnus also struggle to win chess olympiad with so little good gm from norway
Can you believe there were people who ACTUALLY, unironically said someone other than Magnus (for example, Bobby Fischer or something) was the GOAT of chess. Hopefully now we dont live in the past and we can finally acknowledge this is the greatest chess player BY FAR in the history of the game
Nope it's really not as clear as you might think Fischer Kasparov and magnus debate is still not over one argument in favour of that is that they were more dominant over their peers than magnus
@@Handsomeman2342 are you new to chess ? Ratings inflate and gives you an idea of relative strength not absolute strength
Also Kasparov wasn't playing like 100 years ago that his peers were weak it's just about 30 years ago
Do you not know who his peers were?
@@mathematicalmonk1427 In my opinion the engines have changed so much about the dynamics of chess (as in they have massively improved the strength of the whole field of players, leading to smaller gaps between top GMs) that comparing Magnus’s dominance to Kasparov’s or Fischer’s without taking this into account is simply inaccurate.
And I would argue because of this, his dominance in the current era is even more impressive than theirs
@@Jotinha2174 yeah I know that that's why I am saying it's not so clear
@@mathematicalmonk1427How many played chess then vs today? Today everyone has acsess to computers, and Magnus is still dominant
Just like Messi did in Football Magnus completes Chess and cements himself as an all time Great congratulations Magnus Carlsen 🎉🎉🎉
Even the level headed best has his self battles and tugs at his decisions and plans.

Congratulations Magnus. You are a great Champion
He is the GOAT as everyone is saying in comment section... Pragg gave tough fight to him and that shows what he can do in future
Lol tough fight.. Either you don't understand chess or blindly support pragg. Magnus really beat pragg easily. Though credit to pragg for coming this far well deserved 2nd place.

World Cup is such a cool event. The boxing style closed World Championship just seems an avenue for lesser players to get more time to blindly remember stuff through prep.
