I don't think that Magnus will give up the World Champion title so easily. He is hinting at retirement.
People will be pretty disappointed if the declared Greatest Of All Time no longer wants to play the World Championship or if he decides to retire.
Around 1858 Paul Morphy came out of nowhere to beat the top players in the world. Then a couple of years later he gave up chess claiming it was a waste of time. Bobby Fischer called Morphy "the greatest genius of us all."
Best wishes,
John Coffey
