Hello everyone,
World Chess Championship goes off to Silicon Valley and wows fans and audience. In this delightful interview with technology entrepreneur Peter Thiel, Carlsen spoke about not liking playing chess with computers, enjoying a 14-game World Chess Championship, the importance of reading chess books, fitness and how he analysed games in a group while training.

'Top of the pops' was: Chess I think will never be fully solved by computers. We have so called tablebases of up to six pieces... but I don’t think tablebases with seven pieces will happen in our lifetime. And to get to 32 pieces, that’s probably never going to happen. But, I think at some point, we will probably have to start playing more rapid and Fischerandom chess where starting position is determined only right before the game. For now I think classical chess is excellent chess.
