Gistermorgen had ik een lang interview met GM Simen Agdestein. Het ging over zijn optreden in de Noorse versie van Dancing with the Stars, over zijn voetbalcarrière, over zijn pianospel en natuurlijk over Carlsen, veel Magnus Carlsen.
Dat de Noor Simen Agdestein goed kan schaken, weet je. Dat hij een vrij bekende jonge schaker coacht, ook. En dat hij ooit profvoetballer was, zelfs dat is bekend. Maar wist je dat hij ook kan pianospelen?
Hier een diepte-interview (27 min.) met de veelzijdige Noorse grootmeester.
Agdestein vertelde al veel over de carrière van Carlsen tot nu toe, maar als je er nog meer over wilt weten, dan is zijn boek Wonderboy zeer aan te bevelen.
Do you have any more pictures of this chess girl, Ariane Caioli. On and off the board, everything will do. Strictly chess, of course.
Isn’t that guy like a homo universalis
I think Simen is almost more famous in Norway than Magnus is. Simen was the only known chess player until Magnus came along. And he was also a very good football (soccer) player. After participating in “Dancing with the stars” (or something like that) he became well even more known. But of course, he was already one of “the stars”, so he is well known.
And he seems like a very nice person to me, and he has a great reputation in Norway.
I’m interested in the CHESS song! How can i get the notes or the midi or mp3 file?
great interview
Agdestein defeated Bareev with black in the World junior championship in Norway in 1986 in the final round in a very memorable game (a nimzo-indian). As a result Bareev who was leading till then lost the championship to Arencibia. I think Agdestein came second. Bareev sat in the hall way pondering his defeat for a while. He was obviously devastated.
Great interview, very interesting. Thank you.
You can find many pictures of Arianne Caoili on Google.
