Athletistic / Chess. Ella Victoria Malone, the girlfriend of the 16th world chess champion, Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, shared information about cohabitation with the athlete. She said she found the constant media attention difficult.

“I consider myself a person who tries to keep to himself. I get along pretty easily, but there are so many cameras here now that I get overwhelmed. Sometimes it’s hard for me to go to all these tournaments with Magnus, but I do it because I want to be a good daughter to him and always support him. It’s what I’m already used to.

Why don’t I like journalists? It seems to me that the media can say anything. That’s why I try to stay away from them,” Malone told Norwegian broadcaster TV2.

Magnus Carlsen is the world chess champion in three categories: from 2013 to 2023 – world classical chess champion; in 2014-2016, 2019, 2022 – rapid world champion; in 2014-2015, 2017-2019, 2022 – world blitz champion.
