   Summary

   ‘But I won the World Championship and I saw Ian’s face and the trophy, and I thought, That will be me another day,' says Liren. 'I had not even celebrated. And then I put my head in hands and thought that if this is the price of greatness, then I want no part in it.’

   This earns him an even longer silence. No wonder, wonders Liren. It is the inverse of Magnus' very nature.

   Or: Two world champions talk. About chess, the price of glory, and the inevitable march of time.
