Ian is a bit more aggressive!”: Carlsen and Nepo's 1st press

Ian Nepomniachtchi will have the white pieces against Magnus Carlsen on Friday when the World Chess Championship begins, while in their first press conference they got a taste of how their interactions with the press will look. When Nepo was asked why he’ll win he replied, “normally I think the best player wins!”, while Magnus gave the “prediction”, “the person who scores the most points over the next three weeks is going to be the winner, and hopefully it’s going to be me”. It was a cagey opener, but the real battle lies ahead.
