Magnus Carlsen: A Life in Pictures

Carlsen comes from a close-knit family and is often surrounded by his father, mother, and sisters. As a sports fanatic, he plays – and follows – football and basketball. He doesn’t shy away from his celebrity status and was a G-Star model and a Real Madrid VIP guest. But his most genuine smile breaks through when he talks chess with his youngest fans, the kids in a chess tournament. For this book, publisher New In Chess, part of the Play Magnus Group, had access to the Carlsen family archive and all pictures of the best chess photographers.
