Quotes by Magnus Carlsen

"When I'm thinking about a position, I'm not just thinking about the pieces on the board, I'm thinking about the whole board, the whole geometry of the board... I'm thinking about the relationships between the pieces, the squares, the diagonals, the files, the ranks... It's a very three-dimensional way of thinking." - Magnus Carlsen

"One exercise I used to do when I was younger was to try to visualize the board from different angles... Try to visualize the board from the side, from the top, from the bottom... It helps to develop your spatial awareness and your ability to visualize the board in three dimensions." - Magnus Carlsen

"I think that dreams can be a good way to tap into your subconscious mind and get a sense of what's going on in your chess game... Sometimes I'll have a dream about a chess position, and when I wake up, I'll have a new idea about how to play it." - Magnus Carlsen

"I've had dreams where I've seen a chess position, and I've woken up and thought, 'Ah, that's a great idea!'... It's like my subconscious mind is working on the problem while I'm sleeping." - Magnus Carlsen

"I've had lucid dreams where I've been aware that I'm dreaming, and I've been able to control the dream... It's like I'm able to manipulate the chess pieces in my mind and try out different moves." - Magnus Carlsen

"I think that visualization is closely tied to intuition... When you can visualize the board and the pieces, you can start to develop a sense of intuition about the game." - Magnus Carlsen

"I think that visualization is closely tied to mental endurance... When you can visualize the board and the pieces, you can start to conserve your mental energy and focus on the game." - Magnus Carlsen
