NAGPUR: After winning his maiden World Cup title on Thursday, Magnus Carlsen said in an interview, "Chess is in good hands for the future. I think this generation of players born between 1990-94 really have dominated for a long time and finally now with these youngsters born 2003+, we have a generation that's worthy of succeeding us when the time comes and the time could be fairly soon."
Carlsen, who is not sure of participating again in the World Cup, has "no specific plans for playing any tournaments this year".
