Ladies and gentlemen, in this video, I interviewed Magnus Carlsen, the number one rated chess player in the world for more than a decade,

the multiple -time classical, rapid, and blitz world champion, and a player considered by many as the greatest of all time.

We were in Toronto for the Champions Chess Tour finale, which, surprise, surprise, Magnus also happened to win.

And I know Magnus has been interviewed hundreds of times over the course of his career, so this was a special moment for me,

not just because I actually met him for the first time,

but because I wanted to provide an interview for him and ultimately for you the viewer, that would be an interesting listen,

an interesting watch, and I believe that I have accomplished

that goal with a mix of short and fun questions for him to answer, but also some longer and thought -provoking ones as well.

Also at the end, we played a segment that actually my wife

Lucy thought of, which is titled chess player or Ikea furniture.

With that said, here's the interview.

Hi, I'm Gotham Chess and I'm here with...

Um, uh, sorry.

Can we start again?

Hi, I'm Gotham Chess, and I'm here with...

Magnus, who is famous from Levi's YouTube videos.

How many beers would it take for you to drink for me to beat you in a classical chess game?

That's a very difficult question, because I'd probably sober up during the game, so I'd probably have to keep drinking.

Probably start with 20 and take it from there.

20, okay.

What's the size of the cup?

Um, pints.

Wow, okay.

Do you have a dream sponsor?

My Puma deal is expiring, so I'm open for new ones in that sector.

But I was recently at the Jordan Golf Club, so if Jordan want to come and sponsor me, I'd consider it.

Every other chess player has said any sponsor because we don't get sponsorships.

I'm sorry for my...

You destroyed two decades of chess players, Vegas.

Yeah, sorry about that.

If you could be number one in the world, or if you could be number...

Basically if you could be the greatest of all time at anything else, what would it be?

Soccer for sure.

Soccer?

Yeah, that's an easy one.

Name your price if you have to chess box.

Ten million dollars.

Okay.

What's your drink of choice?

Water.

Past 10 p .m also water?

Yeah, I might go for Diet Coke with ice and lemon.

I like that as well.

Do you prefer to play chess on Computer over the board or on your phone?

I rarely play on my phone.

I would say I prefer to play on the computer

In your entire career, have you ever had a day where you went, I think this guy might be as good as me?

No. Well, I mean, not, you know, since not the last 10 years, for sure.

Has it ever been, this guy might be kind of close to me if I have a bad day?

Yeah, I would say Fabian at his best was very close in classical, for sure.

My other question was going to be, who do you think is the second best chess player in the world?

Yeah, I think Fabiano Corano is the second best player.

Do you remember the day you realized, oh, s*, I might be the best chess player on the planet?

That's a very good question.

I remember the first time that I was ranked number one in the world, unofficially.

That was in Bilbao in 2008, late 2008.

I didn't particularly think that I was the best player then.

I would say probably fall 2012 I was absolutely certain

that I was the best player but I did think back in 2010

that I would have beaten either player Topalov

or Anand in a world championship match in retrospect I'm not

so sure 2010 would probably be the time that I I thought yeah I'm the best player, but I wasn't sure until 2012.

Hey, it's me again.

I know interrupting an interview is slightly unconventional, but I wanted to explain Magnus' answer in greater detail so you understand all the context.

Well, the first thing Magnus says is 2008 in Bilbao.

That is a chess tournament that he played in Spain in September of 2008.

And in that tournament, Magnus actually unofficially became the number one ranked player in the world for a couple of days.

That's because in 2008, the official rating lists were published every three months.

Look, July and then October.

So you could play chess for three months and the official rankings would never come out,

but the players would shuffle all up and down against each other.

And he said that when he played that tournament in Bilbao against some of those best players in the world, like Aronian, Rajabov, Anand, Ivanchuk,

just to name a few, he didn't quite yet feel like he was number one in the world, but he broke through for a second.

In fact, in a New York Times article that was published the day before that tournament started,

Magnus literally said that he thinks Anand is a much better player than him.

I found that fascinating.

Now, fast forward to 2010.

Magnus said that he thought he could have beaten either player in a world championship match, Topalov or Anand.

Yes, he said in retrospect, he's not so sure, but Magnus actually turned down the candidates tournament in 2010 and 2011.

Which is maybe not something that we all know.

He declined to participate in the candidate cycle for the world championship actually multiple times in his career.

Until 2012, because the very next year Magnus played in the candidates, ultimately won it, and then went on to defeat Vichy Anand in 2013.

So it's interesting that by 2012 Magnus was certain that he was the best player in the world.

In 2010 he figured he could probably beat either player playing for the throne.

But in 2008 was technically when he first broke through and he was only 17 years old.

Anyway, let's get back to the interview.

I remember where I was the day that you played the final round in The Candidates.

I don't remember much from 10 years ago.

Okay, 2012, right?

2013 was The Candidates.

I don't remember much from 10 years ago.

I remember I traveled

that day on the New York City subway to meet my friend to go to the park and play handball.

And we were watching your game.

How stressful was that day?

I would say I was almost too exhausted to be stressed.

The day after my game with Rajaba was the first day in several days that I actually slept fine.

But I just woke up and had no nervous or any kind of energy.

So in retrospect, I probably should have forced a draw in that game

100

but I also almost didn't have time to be stressed about the outcome or anything because,

101

you know, I thought after I lost, I thought it was over.

102

And then I briefly checked the position from Ivanczuk Kramnik and Ivanczuk was winning,

103

so it only lasted like a minute or so that I was down about the results.

104

So, no, complete exhaustion, yes.

105

Stressed, not necessarily.

106

At those high stakes events like

107

World Championship or that candidates, how many hours on average do you get to sleep a night?

108

Normally I sleep well.

109

Especially if things are going well, of course, but normally I do sleep quite well.

110

In the World Championship I'll get solid seven, eight hours every night.

111

No melatonin, no chamomile, just hit the...

112

Yeah.

113

I don't know.

114

That seems pretty impressive.

115

I mean, we hear LeBron James spends millions a year on his body.

116

Do you feel like you need to do the same in chess, diet, chef?

117

There's some rumors, or I don't know if you confirmed it in some interviews, like you bring a nutritionist or chef with you.

118

You have like home -cooked meals at tournaments.

119

I have brought a chef to a few world championships and a few other tournaments,

120

specifically in places where we didn't think

121

that the local food would be necessarily at the standard I'd like

122

but yeah normally I try

123

and eat relatively healthy not too much not too much sugar apart from

124

that I was probably fitter before now I don't take care as much

125

which I kind of should now because I'm a little bit older and I have less energy,

126

so I actually need to be really fit to have a lot of energy.

127

So, yeah, it's definitely one room for improvement these days.

128

I'm going to offer you a deal.

129

For every Magnus thumbnail I make, I have to donate 20 bucks to a Norwegian charity, or any charity of your choosing.

130

No. No, no, no, that's okay.

131

I'm a bit of a narcissist anyway, so I enjoy it.

132

Okay.

133

When are you focusing on content and overtaking as the number one chess channel?

134

You have a Dorman channel with a million subscribers.

135

No. I know no wish for that,

136

but I do want to stream a bit more so that I can get more content out on these channels.

137

But just for people to have something to enjoy.

138

I'm gonna name a sport.

139

You have to tell me the greatest of all time.

140

Basketball.

141

LeBron James.

142

Soccer.

143

Messi.

144

I agree with both.

Tennis.

154

Djokovic.

155

Was it always Djokovic for you?

156

Or you thought maybe.

157

No, it was after the Australian Open thing that he became the greatest for me.

158

Was it Nadal before or Federer?

159

Probably Federer, but I always identified more with the way the medal plays.

160

Golf.

161

Tiger?

162

Poker.

163

Do I practice?

164

That's a unique one.

169

Chess, boxing.

170

Amman Hamilton.

171

We know the answer to this one, I think.

172

If you could be the greatest of all time in a sport other than chess, what would it be?

173

Yeah, soccer.

174

Soccer.

175

What team would you play for?

176

Madrid?

177

Yeah, for sure.

178

Okay.

181

Can I answer the question about dream sponsor again?

182

Sure, yeah.

183

184

Summer and Wealth Fund of Saudi Arabia.

216

I asked you how you think you're going to do.

217

You seem confident.

218

I was at first

219

but now I'm a little less sure i'll start with the first one profumo

220

you see now i'm already i'm already unsure profumo doesn't sound

221

i mean most of the ikea names are scandinavian profumo

222

but i haven't heard about profumo chess player i could say ikea furniture

223

but i'm not sure chess player oh boy go with your gut keep in mind

224

i found some pretty obscure chess players because i had to make sure you didn't know

225

He's an Italian, 2270.

226

I'm gonna give you the tricky one first.

227

Söderström.

228

Uh, Söderström.

229

Uh, I mean, I definitely heard Söderström as...

230

I'm gonna say that's such a player.

231

Yes.

232

Swedish, which is why it's...

233

Yeah, I mean, it's obviously Swedish.

234

You can hear from the name that it's Swedish, but...

235

Really?

236

Söder means, like, south.

237

Ah!

238

So, and it's written a bit differently in Danish and Norwegian.

239

Um, Ostano.

240

I think that's furniture.

241

You are correct.

242

You are, I think, the first one to guess that fast.

243

Fabi needed to know if there were dots on the O, which kind of gave it away.

244

Like the Swedish O and two dots.

245

Yes, two out of three.

246

Vesken.

247

Vesken?

248

How do you spell it?

249

V -E -S -K -E -N.

250

Vesken?

251

I mean, that's like, Veske is purse in Norwegian.

252

So I'm gonna say furniture.

253

Yes, correct.

254

Three out of four.

255

Zaibi.

256

Z -A -I -B -I.

257

Is that a Z or a Z?

258

Z. Zaybi?

259

Nah.

260

Like Zebra.

261

That's got to be a chess player.

262

Yes.

263

Do you know who it is?

264

It's a Grandmaster.

265

Zaybi is a Grandmaster?

266

What's his first name?

267

Amir.

268

Amir Zaybi from Tunisia or something?

269

Yes, yes, yes.

270

How does that ring a bell?

271

You just know the name from somewhere?

272

Yeah, I probably have seen it somewhere.

273

Usually, I thought I would know the name of most Grandmasters in the world, but maybe not.

274

I don't know.

275

Well, I think he was an I .M until maybe five years ago.

276

Fabiano actually played him in the World Cup, which is actually...

277

Yeah, I mean, it rings some kind of bell.

278

Torald.

279

Torald?

280

Ah, that's furniture.

281

Yeah, that is furniture.

282

Torald.

283

Last two.

284

Panelo.

285

P -A -N -E -L -O.

286

And there's no, like, dance at the end of the...

287

No. Panelo.

288

That's not really a word.

289

I'm going to guess chess player then.

290

You're correct.

291

Marcelo Panelo, 2370.

292

Argentina.

293

Okay, last one.

294

Furniture or chess player?

295

Kallax.

296

And it's an A, there's no.. no...

297

Yeah, no, no, I tried to avoid those.

298

That would be too...

299

Okay, then I'm gonna say chess player.

300

Furniture.

301

Yeah.

302

Sorry.

303

Kallax.

304

Can I see how you write it?

305

Yeah.

306

Kallax.

307

K...

308

I hope I didn't mess that up.

309

For some reason, I thought it was K...

310

S.. then.

311

That was not easy.

312

I mean this is why the game exists.

313

I mean six out of eight is still pretty good.

314

Yeah, but I'm I have an advantage since I so to speak when It's kind of even language.

315

Okay.

316

Well next big tournament.

317

We'll do a we'll do the next one

318

So folks, I hope you enjoyed this conversation

319

And I hope that I was able to ask some questions

320

that I think were slightly non -traditional not something that you hear

321

When chess players are interviewed all the time

322

This was a very special one for me

323

because really only since 2020 have I become any form of personality out there on the internet.

324

I've always been a fan and spectator of chess as well as a chess player and teacher.

325

But being able to meet Magnus and many other top players over the last few years has been super special.

326

And I look forward to creating more media with them in the future because I think that it's helpful for you,

327

the viewers at home, to get a lens into some of the greatest chess players in the world.

328

beyond the 64 squares.

329

That's all I have for you today.

330

Until next time.

331

And before I go, also a massive thank you to Magnus.

332

He was in great spirits, and that was probably because he won some chess match earlier in the day, so that definitely made it easier.

333

But I look forward to having a conversation in the future.

334

Now you know the drill.

335

Get out of here.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
