Hey Magnus! Thanks so much for doing this. I'm a big fan.

  • Do you like any chess variants? I know Chess960 is reasonably popular among high-level players, but what about more off-the-wall stuff like fairy chess?

  • What about board games other than chess?

  • Is there a specific player against whom you particularly enjoy playing?

  • What's your favorite thing that's ever happened to you at a tournament on or off the board?

I have a few questions:

  1. What's the most entertaining thing that's ever happened to you in a tournament?

  2. Do you enjoy any chess variants?

  3. What are your hobbies outside of chess?

  4. Do you ever pretend not to know how to play chess at first when you play amateurs? I know if I were a GM I'd do that all the time.

Thanks so much for doing this! I'm a big fan.

Has a performance ever gone horribly wrong? How did you fix it/cover it?
