The unforgettable Norway chess promotional video with Magnus Carlsen

This special music video was shot with Magnus Carlsen for a promotion of the Norway Chess Tournament 2013. It was produced for Norway Chess by Genesis Film and features the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen in Norwegian).

The Norway Chess 2013 Super Tournament was held from 7th to 18th May 2013 in four different locations in the Stavanger region. It featured Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, Vladimir Kramnik, Vishy Anand and other top ten players.

Norway Chess made the promotional video with scenes of Magnus playing against Kristoffer Madland, a Norwegian Youth chess champion, on a giant chess board atop the Pulpit Rock above Lysefjorden in Norway.

This promo video features the chess prodigy himself with Hanne Sørvaag. Hanne Margrethe Fredriksen Sørvaag, 33, is a famous Norwegian singer/songwriter, who was born in Stavanger.

The video takes your breath away every time you watch it and truly captures the spirit of Magnus Carslen: the human who dared go where no chess player has ever been before.
