This book is a comprehensive, inspiring biography of Magnus Carlsen, widely regarded as one of the greatest chess players in history.
It traces Magnus’s extraordinary journey from a quiet, curious boy in the Norwegian town of Tønsberg to his record-breaking ascent as a grandmaster at age 13, his reign as the world’s highest-rated player and multiple-time World Chess Champion, and his decision to redefine success on his own terms — walking away from the traditional championship cycle while continuing to dominate the game he loves.
Written by Keith C. Lewis in a warm, engaging style, the book goes beyond the headlines and match results. It offers readers an intimate portrait of Magnus as a person: his work ethic, his creativity, his competitiveness, and his quiet philosophy about life and chess. It explores how he navigated the pressures of fame, how he adapted to a fast-changing chess world, and how he inspired millions to see chess as something dynamic, beautiful, and modern.
This is not just a book for chess enthusiasts. It is a book for anyone fascinated by genius, resilience, and the universal quest to stay true to yourself.
At its heart, The Mozart of Chess is a story about finding your passion, mastering your craft, and playing life’s game — in your own way.
