Contrary to many young Colleagues, I do believe that it makes sense to study the Classics.

Unfortunately I'm still not a fashion expert.

For me, the most important thing is to continue to play well and to be a positive figure and hopefully a role model for kids as well.

I enjoy hiking and skiing, like most Norwegians. In winter, there will be snow for months on end. In the summer, there are the long evenings to enjoy.

I started by just sitting by the chessboard exploring things. I didn't even have books at first, and I just played by myself. I learnt a lot from that, and I feel that it is a big reason why I now have a good intuitive understanding of chess.

I don't really watch too many movies. I don't have the patience usually to watch one, one and a half or two hours in a row.

People ask what my goal is. I don't have a goal.
