	There are a couple of good summaries of the most interesting bits posted at various sites. E.g.: https://chess24.com/en/read/news/magnus-carlsen-on-reddit-ask-me-anything or http://www.chessvibes.com/carlsen-on-reddit-%E2%80%9Ci-always-kept-a-very-positi...

	It took place earlier today. Here's a link: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/20t4pv/hello_reddit_im_magnus_carlsen_the_... He made a funny snipe back at Nakamura for comparing him to Sauron from LOTR. [–]perrii 333 points 8 hours ago Hi! What do you think of Nakamura joking with calling you Sauron on Twitter? permalinksavereportgive goldreply [–]MagnusOenCarlsen[S] 1813 points 7 hours ago I've never actually watched Lord of the Rings... if I had, and Nakamura had been a better chess player, I might have been more insulted.

	I don't mind if copying this from Nakamura becomes a trend. Never used to like Nakamura much but I appreciate his down-to-earthness and his Q&A was a splendid idea.

	He announced it via his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vSnytSmUG8 It seems a bit like he's copying Nakamura, hopefully there will be some interesting questions he can answer. If you want to ask him questions yourself you need to create an account on reddit: http://www.reddit.com I imagine he'll tweet a direct link to it when it goes live on the 19th, should be interesting!
