Likely chess boosts the rational thinking; so you make better decisions given the outside parameters.
What appears as risk to A, will look like the obvious move by B who has a higher clarity/IQ.
eg a lion is chasing you and you ran into the top of a small cliff; you have a choice to jump into the river which may have crocs; what are you going to do? Jumping is rationally the best choice left -- this may appear like risk to someone but it is the obvious choice available.
Of course risk is subjective. "You" are part of the system of factors to consider. Sure, Magnus may not consider one position risky while another does, but he's still doing risk assessment, with him as part of that system. He still going to take the option that, to him, takes the most reasonable risk/reward balance. He's not going to take a move that is most likely to lose him the game.
