just play the gane and your learning to apprecites the ganes given, any negative comment from less rated player doesn't matter most...you still play the game, patzer!!??

I'd venture to say Carlsen has played that very same variation numerous times...Once he was given the opprotunity to trade queens...he knew exactly how the rest of the game was going to unfold... Lenko/Kramnik GM, book and the most BORING waste of time....??? Why even play if one or the other isn't going to take a chance and try for the win??? BORING!!!

A classic Bishop vs Knight end game battle. Fischer use to win games like this. 

I MET CARLSEN BEFORE HE PLAY AMAZINGLY FUTURE WORLD CAHMPION

What's marvelous about the kind of play Carlsen showed was that a) we can understand it as we go back over it, but b) he could plan and execute it OTB whereas the vast majority of us would surely stumble even if given the plan.

I would say Calsons end game plan was straightword if you dont like the word simple. He rammed a pawn through on the K side and ran his king over the Q side to score the other pawns first.

Carlsen's endgame play was not "simple"

quite simply yet i wouldn't be able to withstand his ability to calculate the next moves.

Carlsen plays quite simplly
