		After 1992, Agdestein fell into a fl hole; his chess strength was dragged down by the great soccer deception - among other things, that Norway was going to play in the 1994 World Cup without him.
		The end to his soccer career could have been a blessing in disguise because now he was forced to choose for chess, but the injured knee and the other physical problems that soccer brought him (he still isn't 100 % fit, 'which shows also in my chess playing') prevented that.
		Now Agdestein is 33, married, father of two children, and his working life is devoted full time to chess.

		Agdestein was up a piece in the second classical game but a dramatic counterattack in time trouble saved the draw for Carlsen.
