- Magnus Carlsen

About this Quote

This quote by Magnus Carlsen recommends that chess is not a widely popular sport. It is just delighted in by a small minority of people, and does not have the very same level of recognition or appeal as other traditional sports. This could be due to the truth that chess is a video game of technique and needs a great deal of ability and knowledge to play. It is not as accessible as other sports, and may not be as interesting or entertaining to enjoy. Additionally, it is not as widely relayed or marketed as other sports, which might add to its absence of appeal. In spite of this, chess is still a cherished game by numerous, and its players are highly respected for their ability and devotion.
