He told fans that his favorite chess match (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/20t4pv/hello_reddit_im_magnus_carlsen_the_world_chess/cg6g**0) of all time was Viswanathan Anand vs. Gata Kamsky in semi-final match of the 1994 Candidates Tournament (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidates_Tournament) and that, out of every chess player in history, he'd like to play former World Champions Garry Kasparov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov), Bobby Fischer — regarded as the greatest chess player (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer) of all time by many — and José Raúl Capablanca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Ra%C3%BAl_Capablanca).
