All right. We're up and rolling. Magnus Carlsen, ladies and gentlemen. You want some coffee?
No. Oh, this is water.
Tell Jeff to bring in the coffee. I forgot to bring in the coffee.
No, no.
I'm good with water. I need coffee. I'm going to keep up with you, buddy. And, of course, Tony Hinchcliffe is here, who's a gigantic chess fan and just creamed his pants yesterday when I told him you were coming in. And then immediately I said, you've got to come with me. And so Tony's here as well. It's an honor to meet you, man.
I'm always fascinated by people that are at the top of something that's insanely difficult, like chess. And I'm always wondering, like, how much time is involved? How often do you play? And when did you start? How old were you when you first started playing?
