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

When you have fun then you're more interested in learning.

There are certainly loads of players that I admire; I try to learn from all of the great masters both of the past and contemporary as well.

There are so many games that I've seen that I've learned from. I never - that's also part of the same - never single out a particular player or a particular game.

I'm more interested in the games than the people.

You can feel the same thing in football or soccer - that for the best teams in Spain and England, for instance, the public... they're not really going to cheer at all when they play against bad teams unless they do something spectacular. Even if they're winning by a few goals they'll probably just say, "nah." That's normal and they're not excited about it.

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.
