I respect Henrik immensely for the simple fact that he prizes his son’s happiness and comfort over everything else. It’s Magnus’ life, and Henrik doesn’t claim ownership of it whatsoever.
If only every father of every successful young athlete/player in whatever sport or game would be like that...theres nothing more embarassing than fathers/mothers trying to live their childrens life and grab some fame and think that this is their success....they played an educational role yes but nothing more than that.
Magnus explained it back then....Kasparov wanted to dictate to Magnus which tournaments he should take part in and which openings he should play against the individual opponents...Magnus didn't want to be restricted in such a corset, it didn't bother him at all I like it and I can totally understand that.
Henrik should've won dad of the year, every year since Magnus's birth. He did what every parent should do, which nearly every parent ignores, trusting the child on his/her decision while only acting as support, not deciding for your child, but letting your child choose. Magnus is very lucky to have a family like that, which is why, along with his strong will, managed to the greatest chess player known to mankind up to date.
How can one "only acts as support" for children?? On the one hand: I fear, by giving them complete freedom, that they go astray, waste the most valuable and productive period in their life, and/or end up in the gutters (like doing drugs or in prison,). On the other hand: I fear, by sharing my insight on matters with them, that they either don't understand my point of view, or worse, see that as meddling in their personal life... Of what use would be all that experience, which the parents gathered in their whole lives, if they can't share it with their children and guide them with it??
No if I let my child do what he will never become diciplined and will most likely do something that most do which is being lazy. Not everybody is a super genius that can sit around and play chess
@@jjjyli686 How is Magnus a genius? Did his parents know he was a genius beforehand and decided that chess is a carreer he can excel in? Sorry to break it to you, but chess is not a game that only geniuses can play. Hikaru Nakamura former Number 2 and arguably the best or 2nd best online blitz player has an IQ of about 100-105 which is what a normal adult has. People like him, Magnus etc all put in a lot of work and effort that lasted decades to get where they are right now. Anybody can do what they have, its just a matter of will and effort. Secondly. No, I didn't say that you should let your child do whatever it wants, its a child afterall. What I'm saying is that you shouldnt push your child to do what you couldnt, because the child has other goals in mind. Magnus's father saw that Magnus had very good memory and so he decided to teach him chess. At first Magnus didn't really like chess but due to his competitive nature to be better than his sister, he actually studied chess and could draw Kasparov at age 13.
One thing I find interesting about this answer is that it sounds like not only was Magnus talented at Chess, but he also seems talented at learning Chess. Meaning he had an understanding of how he would learn Chess best, and was confident enough in it to reject the recommendations of others. As opposed to people who try to learn things one way, get frustrated, and believe they are bad at the subject instead of accounting for the possibility that the way the subject is being taught may not be the best for them. I think it's reasonable from the coach's perspective that for most players who would want to learn Chess, there would need to be more intensive study. But Magnus recognized that he needed more balance with playing actual games, and that belief was proven right over time as even his coaches agreed that he had that ability as Henrik said to internalize the games after the fact.
This is what Josh Waitzkin said he lacked when he got a bit older in his chess studies, the fact that his coaches were shaping him in a manner that was different to his nature. Good on Magnus and his parents to not do the same mistake, which has undoubtably ended many brilliant minds future in various endeavors.
Believe me when I tell you this, Henrik Carlsen is the biggest reason for Magnus' success. It's one thing to have natural talent and dedication and desire to excel towards something, but all those things can be wasted if you don't get the right environment. The reason for Magnus' jaw dropping excellence is that he has been the absolute king of his desires and goals and his mind since he was a child. You can gather this much from all the information about him on the internet. But had he experienced any resistance from his parents regarding his dreams, it is unlikely that he would have achieved the level of success that he has now. Magnus' dad has been the perfect foil under which he has bloomed into a diamond. Henrik Carlsen is the definition of the ideal parent. I salute him and I wish other parents and would-be parents can take inspiration from him.
i agree 100% with what u are saying. im not a parent myself. but i Imagine it must be difficult to not intervene when u have a talent like Magnus, and try to take control over his career. insted of letting magnus have control over his decisions and career, which Henrik gave him this freedom.

It's worth noting though that Carlsen did very much end up working with Kasparov later on, around 2009/2010 and it was during this time working together that Carlsen first reached #1. By then, Kasparov had been retired from competitive chess for about 5 years and Carlsen said in interviews that Kasparov was still incredibly strong (they supposedly played a few training games).
With or without working with kasparov, carlsen would have been world number #1. If not that month, that year. Some other time. So please stop bringing the great kasparov, the chess genius, you're making him a chess trainer.
When asked who Magnus's favorite chess player is, he said Magnus at age 20. The dude no doubt had a champion mindset even as a kid. No wonder he decline Kasparov, he knew he could just do it himself and didn't want his playing style to change yet.
@@crbrearley Really? He said this during his interview during his Championship match against Nepo, I thought he was on top of the world since he was winning. I didn't know he was going through thing though :/
Are they really though? Kasparov was known as an attacker and someone who liked to get to complex positions where his tactical prowess would shine through. Carlsen is still pretty aggressive relative to the whole of professional chess (where I think that due to extensive computer analysis, players are inherently more strategic and conservative), but Carlsen also enjoys complicating positions and getting into endgames where he can outmaneuver and outcalculate the opponent. It's two sides of the same coin.

Why don't you go ahead and read the Chessbase articles titled "Breaking news: Carlsen and Kasparov join forces" (dated 9/7/2009) and "Magnus Carlsen on his chess career" (dated 3/5/2010) and take your time to read what Carlsen ACTUALLY said at the time. Surely you can manage Googling, go on, do your research child.
This reminds me of a movie about young gymnasts. In an Eastern European country a team of teenage gymnasts are under the the finger of the brutal coach, they get beaten even, when they look lazy. Then we get introduced to a young Canadian guy, who does everything they do, and more, with ease, and on his own volition, just by putting in the hard work while also having fun. What a different approach!
What an excellent, Father!! I agree, whole-heartedly with this concept. Children need to start making good decisions at youthful ages, with guidance, but they need to choose their food at restaurants and such, not moms always picking or the dads always "Protecting the Adult Decision," and losing that valuable lesson for their children...Wonderful to hear this concept!! Thank you for the transparency!
Respecting another person's right and freedom to make their own decisions is a key. Especially for a parent-child relationship, but with all kinds of human relations as well. Violating another's freedom in this way is more destructive than usually acknowledged and appreciated.
I think it is too simplistic to just say trust your child as a parent. As a parent you need to work out what areas to trust your child and what areas you need to be more firm and steer them away into another direction always through good communication. It is also important to never destroy your child's interest/hobbies by insisting things are done in your way
@@santishorts with or without working with kasparov, carlsen would have been world number #1. If not that month, that year. Some other time. So please stop bringing the great kasparov, the chess genius, making him a chess trainer.
@@akshith37 Lol, why so mad about FACTS? Carlsen hired Kasparov because he wanted to become #1, and it worked out well, didn't it? Jesus, people are so freaking weird.
There is also the fact that every GM respects Garry, but nobody really likes him. He is notoriously arrogant and a pain to work with. Hikaru also worked with him for about a year and then said: nope, I'm out!
What a great dad! It is so rare to see a parent allow his child to make his own decisions. As parents we all want to try and help but sometimes the best way to help is to allow a child to learn from their choices and support them not matter what. I think Kasparov is an arrogant person that would have tried to take the credit for Magnus's success.
I don't think I know anyone as rational and with sense as Carlsen's father. This is a "fornuftig" mann on his best. A child's happiness is ALWAYS number one priority, doesn't matter. Parenting at its best
The GOAT is Kasparov, and don't forget, Magnus probably has to play another 10+ years at top level to scratch Kasparov's status. Look at Karpov's palmares; Karpov played and won so many more tournaments. Magnus is very strong but far from the GOAT.
And is that all that interests you today, and yesterday, and a week ago and three weeks ago? Only chess? Do not yell when they come to free you, raise your hands and surrender.
Maybe Carlsen thought that from that moment he can improve better if he prepares independently, because there is always a time in everyone life when they r suppose to stop taking support of their parents/teachers/guardians and become self dependent, and i guess Magnus reached that point too soon :) Sometimes, individual level freedoms and choosing our own path, making our own decisions is much more important than choosing the direction given by other expert elites
There was some years ago, i have seen on the tv and youtube an advertasing about Garry Kasparov giving chess lessons for 3 persons at a table, he suggested to be chess coach, showing his method calculation not easy to understand more not fun, yeah i have the impression Garry is an exigeant coach, like " do this! Do that! Not do this! No not do that, that's like that and not otherly!" i have the impression so if i'll have him like coach that i'll do training chess, chess lessons with him, my opinions about chess, my choice will be limited, "i have to do make like Garry Kasparov" i will decline too, i prefer to watch some games of the chessbrah with Aman and Eric, some chess game with the Botez sisters playing chess in some squares on youtube and other channels and to play friendly on chess web sites, lol Garry Kasparov has enough money like that 😆😆😆 he is a chess legend having much won chess games, tournaments, he have to much money🤑🤑🤑 $$$ he doesn't need give chess lessons 😄😄😄
Nice way to say that the relationship with Kasparov was restricting Magnus' ability to grow as a chess player even though Kasparov himself is a brilliant player. Understandable.
he didn't say that though? he said whatever decision magnus wanted, he would make. the reason henrik allowed magnus to refuse working with kasparov, is because he trusted magnus' decision. it had nothing to do with if henrik thought kasparov would "restrict magnus' ability to grow as a chess player".
I'ld say it's because Kasparov saw that Magnus has the potential to be the next world champion and could get a part of the fame as the world champion trainer.
There are more complex dynamics that take place in the world than your excuse for a brain can comprehend so if not anything keep your hypotheticals to yourself. It’s embarrassing
He doesn't hate Kramnik. Norwegians just have a very sarcastic humor. Kramnik was Kasparov's second for many years, then eventually dethroned Kasparov by playing the Berlin defense. I believe you're talking about when he called Kramnik annoying 😆. It's just tongue and cheek. Everybody loves Kramnik, it's not like he's toxic like Hikaru Nakamura, who has a bad standing with a lot of grandmasters, despite their respect for him.
To be fair, Carlsen has a team. Fischer had no one, and he learned Russian to read the best chess books at the time. Not to Mention all the Russian players sat together in a room after all of his games and helped each other analyze how to beat Fischer. Which is a dirty way to play. Carlsen is more of a memorize a move and never forget it kind of player. He learned all the capitals of different countries and states at an early age, and he can look at a position on a chess board and instantly "remember" what game and what year. He can do that for thousands of games which is incredible. I feel like Bobby was a more creative player. But in all honesty, I have no idea who would win in a match. I think it would be fair to give Bobby a month or so to use chess engines before they started their match. In that case I would favor Bobby.
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online sermons!
Why he said no to Kasparov? Simple. He cheaped out on his son's education and he's trying to cover it up. Magnus wouldn't deny it and go against his father. Fortunately for Magnus he's still the top dog. But who knows what rating he would've gotten now had he worked with him at a young age. He'd definitely be better for it. You gotta factor in the law of diminishing returns but still it would've made a difference in FIDE rating. I bet the question haunts both of them to this day. But to address his issue, Kasparov shaping Magnus, yes maybe he would shape him into a style he isn't comfortable with. Maybe. But then he would've been stronger for it. He would've realized what he wanted and didn't want earlier. There really would be some real difference in FIDE rating when you compare the two alternate universes.
Carlsen probably figured out at a young age that he was not going to learn much from Kasparov (who was a master of computer analysis and memorization with less pure talent than say, Karpov, Spassky, or Carlsen himself).
That was likely not the case at all. Most of Kasparov's career pre-dates the use of computer analysis, not to mention that many people cite Kasparov's intuition and feel as being one of his biggest assets.
I like how you show that you haven't studied any of young Kasparov's games, he was talented and strong, the analysis he did before even the computer shaped the chess world shows exactly how much he was superior than others.
Carlsen if anything has the best memory of any player that has ever existed. He has memorized thousands upon thousands of positions on a chess board, he even knows which players played the game, and what year the game was played. So Carlsen is more of a memorizer than you think. He can be creative, but it's hard to call anyone creative during the chess engine Era.

@@akshith37 Lol, why so mad about FACTS? Carlsen hired Kasparov because he wanted to become #1, and it worked out well, didn't it? Jesus, people are so freaking weird.
@@santishorts hired?
@@akshith37 Yes, Carlsen paid Kasparov to have him as a coach, and he was very expensive (naturally).
Such nice understanding Parent 👌🙏🙏
Well spoken as always Henrik! 🙂
This way people wouldnt say ,oh Magnus is great because of Kasparov,haha got you.
There is also the fact that every GM respects Garry, but nobody really likes him. He is notoriously arrogant and a pain to work with. Hikaru also worked with him for about a year and then said: nope, I'm out!
Amazing dad. Amazing son.
Now that's great parenting
this is a good lesson on parenting
What a great dad! It is so rare to see a parent allow his child to make his own decisions. As parents we all want to try and help but sometimes the best way to help is to allow a child to learn from their choices and support them not matter what. I think Kasparov is an arrogant person that would have tried to take the credit for Magnus's success.
I don't think I know anyone as rational and with sense as Carlsen's father. This is a "fornuftig" mann on his best. A child's happiness is ALWAYS number one priority, doesn't matter. Parenting at its best
Tbf Kasparov was pretty rude to decline a handshake
This guy is a hero.
He saw his son's talent and didn't try to mold it into what Magnus didn't want. A lot of parents should take a lesson from him.
Gm Garry kasparvo player introduced in Play magnus chess aap......
Lers be honest Magnus wants to write his own history. Nobody dictates the GOAT of chess.
The GOAT is Kasparov, and don't forget, Magnus probably has to play another 10+ years at top level to scratch Kasparov's status. Look at Karpov's palmares; Karpov played and won so many more tournaments. Magnus is very strong but far from the GOAT.
TLDR: He was given homework.
Maybe Magnus was influenced by Bobby Fischer's 'I'd rather do it myself mentality'.
ÜSTAD KASPAROV, ŞAMPİYON MAGNUS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
magnus is an alien!
What a great dad, knows exactly how to groom his children.
Magnus saw the option to work with Kasparov, but he didn't like it
And is that all that interests you today, and yesterday, and a week ago and three weeks ago? Only chess?
Do not yell when they come to free you, raise your hands and surrender.
As another Scandinavian sportslegend Once said: leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!
Maybe Carlsen thought that from that moment he can improve better if he prepares independently, because there is always a time in everyone life when they r suppose to stop taking support of their parents/teachers/guardians and become self dependent, and i guess Magnus reached that point too soon :)
Sometimes, individual level freedoms and choosing our own path, making our own decisions is much more important than choosing the direction given by other expert elites
You are reading too much into it.
Magnánimo, Salu2 from Chile. Oooh boy!!
a real man
Cool Dad!
Hmm weird, you let your kid pursue their own happiness, and do things their way and they become the greatest in the world.
There was some years ago, i have seen on the tv and youtube an advertasing about Garry Kasparov giving chess lessons for 3 persons at a table, he suggested to be chess coach, showing his method calculation not easy to understand more not fun, yeah i have the impression Garry is an exigeant coach, like " do this! Do that! Not do this! No not do that, that's like that and not otherly!" i have the impression so if i'll have him like coach that i'll do training chess, chess lessons with him, my opinions about chess, my choice will be limited, "i have to do make like Garry Kasparov" i will decline too, i prefer to watch some games of the chessbrah with Aman and Eric, some chess game with the Botez sisters playing chess in some squares on youtube and other channels and to play friendly on chess web sites, lol Garry Kasparov has enough money like that 😆😆😆 he is a chess legend having much won chess games, tournaments, he have to much money🤑🤑🤑 $$$ he doesn't need give chess lessons 😄😄😄
a training with Kasparov had cost in 2005 like over $ 300 000 for 6 months.
Nice way to say that the relationship with Kasparov was restricting Magnus' ability to grow as a chess player even though Kasparov himself is a brilliant player. Understandable.
he didn't say that though? he said whatever decision magnus wanted, he would make. the reason henrik allowed magnus to refuse working with kasparov, is because he trusted magnus' decision. it had nothing to do with if henrik thought kasparov would "restrict magnus' ability to grow as a chess player".
Magnus,hello from Russia
Did Garry contacted Magnus to give him some chess lessons lately?
I'ld say it's because Kasparov saw that Magnus has the potential to be the next world champion and could get a part of the fame as the world champion trainer.
Yeah he wanted some fame because he had none
There are more complex dynamics that take place in the world than your excuse for a brain can comprehend so if not anything keep your hypotheticals to yourself. It’s embarrassing
And criticising an innocent opinion is even more embarassing, what kind of morality are you trying to bring to the table?
@@DavidT.Santos ironic
Right, because I'm sure you know all the names of Magnus's trainers lol
So Magnus had very few "sessions" with Kasparov as a teacher.
Compare this with all the fathers from football stars…
Does somebody know why the issue Carlsen have to Kramnik?
He doesn't hate Kramnik. Norwegians just have a very sarcastic humor. Kramnik was Kasparov's second for many years, then eventually dethroned Kasparov by playing the Berlin defense.
I believe you're talking about when he called Kramnik annoying 😆. It's just tongue and cheek. Everybody loves Kramnik, it's not like he's toxic like Hikaru Nakamura, who has a bad standing with a lot of grandmasters, despite their respect for him.
Всем привет
"The story you might have heard." WHAT STORY? I've never seen such a long non-answer to a question.
So, basically he declined to work with Kasparov, because Kasparov gave him homework. Funny story.
Bec.. ahm, He cannot reach the Prime Meridian:-) by Garry kasparov,himself.
Different styles of play
Or the very premature reasoning ,Is He wants to practice alone😜... Or maybe he was teased to garry kasparov as a ,Part time lover.
Cuz carlsen better than Garry .d
Garry is a P.O.S. Magnus is the Chess Messiah! Fischer a close second
To be fair, Carlsen has a team. Fischer had no one, and he learned Russian to read the best chess books at the time.
Not to Mention all the Russian players sat together in a room after all of his games and helped each other analyze how to beat Fischer. Which is a dirty way to play.
Carlsen is more of a memorize a move and never forget it kind of player. He learned all the capitals of different countries and states at an early age, and he can look at a position on a chess board and instantly "remember" what game and what year.
He can do that for thousands of games which is incredible. I feel like Bobby was a more creative player. But in all honesty, I have no idea who would win in a match.
I think it would be fair to give Bobby a month or so to use chess engines before they started their match. In that case I would favor Bobby.
@ Jeremy Rogers did you invent a time machine to prove that M.C. would defeat R.J.Fischer?
@@gooddognigel9992 the only reason you think Fischer is a stronger player is because you're an antisemite like him, just admit it.
I heard that Magnus father is much better in chess than his son but it's the biggest family secret.
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online sermons!
Soooo, why?
Why didn't a young person want to spend time with Kasparov? I can't possibly imagine...
a training with Kasparov had cost in 2005 like over $ 300 000 for 6 months.
its his game hahahaha
Magnus has surpassed Kasparov. Kasparov had little or nothing to offer.
Don't say like kasparove is one of the greatest chess player ever . On his peak he can beat carlsen
@@arundev3734 nah not considering Magnus has dominated an engine-ridden world ;)
@@arundev3734 no players today are better because of engines.
@@arundev3734 Kasparov won with the help of the soviet government. Bobby Fischer would have destroyed Kasparov if he still played at the time.
Boy, this couldn't be more wrong.
Why he said no to Kasparov? Simple. He cheaped out on his son's education and he's trying to cover it up. Magnus wouldn't deny it and go against his father. Fortunately for Magnus he's still the top dog. But who knows what rating he would've gotten now had he worked with him at a young age. He'd definitely be better for it. You gotta factor in the law of diminishing returns but still it would've made a difference in FIDE rating. I bet the question haunts both of them to this day. But to address his issue, Kasparov shaping Magnus, yes maybe he would shape him into a style he isn't comfortable with. Maybe. But then he would've been stronger for it. He would've realized what he wanted and didn't want earlier. There really would be some real difference in FIDE rating when you compare the two alternate universes.
Is this your assumption or what?
Carlsen probably figured out at a young age that he was not going to learn much from Kasparov (who was a master of computer analysis and memorization with less pure talent than say, Karpov, Spassky, or Carlsen himself).
That was likely not the case at all. Most of Kasparov's career pre-dates the use of computer analysis, not to mention that many people cite Kasparov's intuition and feel as being one of his biggest assets.
I like how you show that you haven't studied any of young Kasparov's games, he was talented and strong, the analysis he did before even the computer shaped the chess world shows exactly how much he was superior than others.
Carlsen if anything has the best memory of any player that has ever existed. He has memorized thousands upon thousands of positions on a chess board, he even knows which players played the game, and what year the game was played.
So Carlsen is more of a memorizer than you think. He can be creative, but it's hard to call anyone creative during the chess engine Era.
@@ninjanoodle2674 Too true. Someone who knows what they're talking about.
@Hoggar You're talking complete rubbish.
Lol..."hobby." Maybe one day Magnus will outgrow his hobby and get a real job.
Henrik Carlsen should write a book on how to be a good parent
