Questions for any 2017 Sinquefield cup participants?

@tpr, Kasparov already answered that question: "1. d4 is more substantial ("richer") than 1. e4."

(I myself play both open and closed games and I agree.)
@Sarg0n :Id not see wh is1.d4 richer,cause i think there is more chnaces of drawing,cause it is closed.
But of course,i am just 14,ans jus 1540 FIDE RATED
@the_loving_boy, Yeah, but actually, at the highest level, there are many theoretically drawish black openings against e4, like the Berlin, the Marshall, or even the Petrov...
Ah,ok:)
Cause i do it like that:
e4 e5 Nf3 Nf6 Nxe5 d6 Nxe5 Nc3 Nxc3
and then Black does 0-0
and i do 0-0-0
never got a draw
I just use 1d4 againt 1900 layers,than i always draw:)
Magnus:

1. Where do you see yourself 5, 10, 20 years from now? Any future plans other than chess?

2. If you got into fisticuffs with Hikaru Nakamura, who would win.

Ben Finegold:

1. What is it like being a rotating GM

2. Will you sign my books "Sleep like a Grandmaster", "Cry like a Grandmaster" & "Resign like a Grandmaster?"
@Kasparov: "What do you think about 'touch-move'?"
@Naka: "How many hands are allowed for castling properly?" and "You like ponies so much that you always try to have them on the board?"
@all: "Well, let's talk about the recent bermuda party at the chess olympiad..." :D
Ask Kasparov: Why did you blacklist a chess journalist for criticizing your style of playing football.

(actually happened)
