Magnus Carlsen Interview

What does he think about computer chess?

Carlsen: "I’ve never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn’t use a computer for preparing for games at all. I was playing a bit online, was using the chess club mainly. Now, obviously, the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games. [But] in general I get much more pleasure from playing human opponents. That’s why I never really played with computer. I just analyze when I’m on the computer, either my games or my opponents. But mostly my own.
