It has become a tradition now that Sagar Shah interviews Magnus Carlsen after the World Rapid and Blitz Championships. It happened in 2019, then in 2021, 2022 and now for the 4th time in 2023. This year just like in 2019 and 2022, Magnus managed to win both World titles – rapid and blitz. It was a phenomenal achievement by the Norwegian as he achieved his 17th world title. In this interview, Sagar goes over some of the best games of Magnus from this event, gets his thoughts and also talks to him about the plans for 2024 and the current FIDE World Championship cycle.

Great interview! Nice touch with the diagrams showing the games.
interviewing someone as they eat is just weird.
Four years running…and what a tradition this has flowered into!
Sagar has taken sports interviewing to an entirely new level. Such a far cry from the inane “What will you do to celebrate?” type of exchanges we have sadly become used to.
This is the real stuff. In Magnus's personal sanctum, talking about the actual games, the critical moments, specific moves, specific emotions, specific connections with Magnus' (and Kaspasrov’s) past games; all annotated so crisply with a live chessboard board as they speak. Beautiful.
What a pleasure to see Sagar with a deep knowledge and understanding of chess and of Magnus as he gently anticipates Magnus’ inner thoughts (and moves!) while Magnus ponders how to articulate them. Incredible to watch an interviewer so finely attuned with the athlete and the game. Little surprise that Magnus himself clearly enjoys the opportunity to have these conversations. For once, he can honestly speak his “chess” mind to a resonant listener. The chess world is indebted to Sagar.
Thank you Sagar for posting articles, videos with commentary, and even the videos without commentary. These un-commentated movies too have their own charm – as if we were right there in the hall ourselves silently watching the drama unfold.
Thanks!
What he didn't say: he AND some others (top-2700s like Alireza, Ding, Hikaru, etc.) are indirectly trying to put classical chess to death slowly. They see the kids coming for their ratings, VERY plain and simple! If it was SOOO easy, TRY to win an Open tournament Magnus. "Best player in the world" – you're funny MC🤣😂! We have seen the Peter Heine video where HE admits it too!! We can't expect such STRONG follow-ups from quasi-journo, and kissa&* Magnus fan Sagar Shah 🤣. Remember Sagar, MC HAS alluded in the past with phrases like "I donno, I don't enjoy classical"; "I don't know if I will play more classical", etc.
Great interview, so polite and respectful.
17:50 😁
As always, ChessBase India conducts best chess interviews
Two 🐐 s
How can u remember all these games.
Wonderful and interesting interview. It takes two to tango.
What is Magnus eating? Peaches? Some desert?
Chessbase India is the best, from a Canadian
Man I wish I had that kind of memory! To be able to recall and evaluate these positions in your head after such a long day, insane.
10:05 His positional awareness is outstanding. The best that has ever been seen
You can tell Magnus really respects Sagar. Greetings from Norway
Congratulations to you Carlsen. But also to Vladimir Fedoseev and Yu Yangyi.
Magnus Carlsen is by far the GOAT! He dominates classical, rapid and blitz like no other player in history. He is also a class act and a great ambassador for the sport.
What is up with 12:49 Ram Gopal Verma sting operation type camera angle? 😂
What’s he even eating?
2021 win he showed no emotion on his face
This interview is a jewel.
Very gracious interview from Magnus. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely one of the best Magnus interviews out there. As many have pointed out, Magnus appears very comfortable and relaxed in his interactions with CBI, owing in a large part to the affability of the team and how well prepared Sagar is for these interviews. I don't know how much time he gets to prepare during these long tournaments, with he always seems to know the correct fact and figues. In addition, he seems to instinctively know how to balance the chess position related questions and the other ones, so as not to wear out the interviewee.
Also, Magnus himself is extremely candid and well-spoken. I like how he talks about the mindset and will. He truly appears to be his own competition, and demonstrates again and again how much better he is than everyone around at the game. Yet, he manages to inspire without sermonising or coming across as indifferent. I keep saying this, he is the true fictional hero proto-type.
Sagar's interviews are rare, because Magnus doesn't seem bored to death in them.
I was very upset as u guys didnt live commentary during the games. But this interview means a lot
Music is ridiculous
Bruh how’d you hold the camera so still
Dang, Sagar! Let the man eat in peace and THEN go torture him with your questions! :-))
"When I feel good, I (almost) never lose" – he seldom loses even when he is sick and tired. He is truly an amazing player with an incredible amount of focus and energy, and obviously a truckload of talent. He has a crystal clear vision of the board and an innate feel for how to maneuver the pieces. He loves the game so much that he never tires of playing – online, OTB, and all time controls. Magnus Carlsen is undoubtedly the greatest exponent of chess that ever lived.
Chessbase India team rocks 🎯⭐✨
which series are they talking about?
At least a plate trophy a little bit of an upgrade from NFT trophy lol
What would we do without Chess base India and what would Chess base India do without us.
I'm so glad I found your channel even just recently! Thank you Mr. Sagar and sending love to India's chess players and culture from USA!
Can't you let the guy eat in peace Jesus Christ!
Only one person's interview did Sagar miss, and that is Henrik Carlsen. I would love to see him here. (Maybe, do one of the NRK journalists also while you're at it.)
love to India from Norway. happy new year.
The G.O.A.T himself. Proud to be a Norwegian 🇳🇴
