Doubt

Aftenposten chess expert and international champion Nicolai Getz headed just over AGDESTEIN avgjlørelse. He points out that 47-year-old in the past has played up in the world and increased focus.

– There is a bit special. I spoke recently with Simen, as he seemed very motivated. He has tried to add up to 30 times before. I know Simen as a very sensitive guy, who probably just tired now. All the players had built up great expectations for the Olympics. It did not go as they had hoped. Then it is easy to fail, says Getz.

– You do not think he is serious?

– He will probably stay in any years and continue to play some tournaments, evolve and get better. I guess he stays at the top level, said Getz, who had Agdestein as a teacher at NTG.

Criticizes team officials

He thinks the Olympics and preparations prior to draining the Norwegian players for energy.

– The team management must reflect on whether they could have done something different. Collection before the Olympics was not optimal. It should have been a week earlier, so that the boys had been able to collect profits. It did not. Simen, Magnus (Carlsen) and Jon Ludvig (Hammer) complained that they were exhausted. It is puzzling.

Agdestein says to NRK that it’s time to let younger powers.

– No, it’s not sad at all. It’s going to be a lot less pressure, and I’m going to throw me here and there. Previously I have often enjoyed by 15 students and played well. There has been a lot of thinking. Now it is the youth who must forward, he said.
