I never said that He doesn't Play for win from white and Likes Easy draw I Just said That he had to draw all the games though he won he should have won with Fame Crushing Caruana that might have been even more Great.

As a chess player Magnus inspired me mainly due to his fighting spirit. In 2014 Magnus played against Nakamura, and was objectively completely losing at a certain point. He kept fighting and Nakamura missed several winning chances and even lost the game in the end. After the game Magnus explained his attitude nicely:

"One move at a time! As long as there is no obvious direct win and the material is equal you should just keep playing and see what happens ... If you keep fighting you will be lucky once in a while."

I like him too. He's probably the greatest player of all time and I think he's humble and also very funny. It's a pleasure watching his streaming videos.
What is not to like?, Supremely gifted, grounded considering the success, limelight and wealth. Pretty sure I would win an arm wrestle but I reckon 10 extra queens might not be enough for me to trouble him at Chess!
