The 25-year-old Norwegian Magnus Carlsen will be defending his title this fall against his Russian challenger, Sergey Karjakin. The World Chess Champion tells DW how he wants to make chess more accessible to everyone.
DW: Since the end of March, you've known that you will be competing against the Russian Sergey Karjakin at the World Chess Championship in November. Have you already started preparing?
