In this interview Grandmaster Lars Bo Hansen discusses everything from the problems of cheating in chess to how his dad's involvement as a chess organizer has inspired him to rejuvenate the sport of chess in his new hometown of Orlando, Florida. Like Anish Giri he also emphasizes having a variety of interests and not becoming too obsessed with the sport can actually help your chess.

[LostTactic]

the interview is fantastic, but please cut out that stupid background music in future, found it extremely irritating.

[OnlineChessLessons]

@LostTactic Please consider watching the full interview, as the background music quickly fades after 60 seconds.

[OnlineChessLessons]

I know this interview is long guys, but this dude is really really cool. Please take the time to watch.

[CaptainSvy]

priceless, thank you very much

[hayderatrah]

the questions are fantastic. It is shame I can not figure out what GM Bo Hansen was saying. Can you please put a text of what's been said.

[OnlineChessLessons]

@SleepIsMagic Yea, the problem is Lars Bo Hansen's voice was much lower than mine so I ran it through a filter to normalize the volume, if I didn't do it Bo Hansen's voice would have been so low you wouldn't even be able to hear it.

@Bluedasher23 I agree, I thought the video interview's were a good idea but the grandmasters prefer text and you guys prefer text, so I guess we'll just stick to text :-)

@3patm If you guys can get in touch with him and convince him let me know.

[bluedasher23]

the audio is quite bad... I can't make out much of what is being said at all... probably 20%. I think I prefer the text interviews over the visual interviews with a game analysis of the Grandmaster in the text interview... That I find much more enjoyable.

Take Care

[paolofanderson]

What about interviewing  Narodinsky and Danielsen? Bye

[3patm]

I bet Henrik Danielsen would be down for one of these

[nicocola1]
