re: Magnus Carlsen to forgo the defense of his title

So the dude who is the GOAT doesn’t want to defend his world title? I don’t get it? Is it that big of an inconvenience to go play an hour round of chess, or is he scared to get beat?

He’s pretty cocky about how good he is, so I doubt it’s this. He might just generally have no desire to go whoop one of these lesser players…again.

One of the games in his last match went on for 7 hours.

I think he's won something like 9 in a row. He's been possibly the best player in the world since a very young age.
He just doesn't want to do it for now, I guess.

Its not just one game. Its a series of classical games that normally take 2-4 hours to play. Magnus wanted to incorporate different time controls in the match and FIDE didn't want to go that route.

He just has other interest and seems to like being a celebrity. He recently played in the World Series of Poker, although I think he did pretty bad.
