Agdestein seems depressed

[SIGVED]

I have beaten Agdestein in a simultan ;-) But I was crushed by Magnus in a blitz-game when Magnus was only 11 years..

@PabloPena108 The interview lasts 27' as the uploader states. This is just a 4' extract. What's amazing is his diverse skills, GM, soccer international, musician. I remember Mark Taimainov who was a top 10 GM at the 60s and piano concertist.

@emadmadi Agdestein did not create Magnus Carlsen. Magnus Carlsen created Magnus Carlsen.

Mr Simen Agdestein...

Not only doesn't he mention Magnus once during the interview he doesn't even speak about chess. What a joke.
