Magnus Carlsen was born on November 30, 1990 in Tønsberg Municipality, Norway to Sigrun Øen, a chemical engineer, and Henrik Albert Carlsen, an IT consultant.
The family spent one year in Espoo, Finland, and then in Brussels, Belgium, before returning to Norway in 1998, where they lived in Lommedalen, Bærum.
They later moved to Haslum. Carlsen showed an aptitude for intellectual challenges at a young age. At two years, he could solve 50-piece jigsaw puzzles; at four, he enjoyed assembling Lego sets with instructions intended for children aged 10–14.
His father, a keen amateur chess player,[8] taught him to play at age 5, although he initially showed little interest in it.[9] He has three sisters, and in 2010 stated that one of the things that first motivated him to take up chess seriously was the desire to beat his elder sister at the game.
