Carlsen is so strong that even the play of a 2700 would look weak and full of blunders, to him.

Yeah, if he said that, then he needs to play a really good 1600 - 1800 player. He won't find too many blunders there. I think most games are decided by inaccuracies - probably a few of them.

I think you will find that for most losses, the analysis tool identifies what it views as a blunder. Of course it's more common for the winner to have no detected blunders.

An 1800 would get decimated by Carlsen. They'd blunder their pieces away, left and right.
Yes, it's true that 1800s don't blunder too much against other 1800s. But against Carlsen, even 2600 Grandmasters will find their pieces getting swept away.
Guess, it is a point.
This is like a troll forum. It starts out with a complete misquote.
He prob means inacurate moves
I am 700 rapid and 1700 puzzles is that weird?

The title is so... painful to read. Why not put his quote in quotation marks and then put a hyphen with Carlsen after it? Easier to write too.
It is a very inspiring quote though. I suspect that the became champions because first they tried to stop all mistakes of one move ahead, then it was easier to stop all mistakes of 2 moves ahead, and so on.

Carlsen was asked interesting question on twitter:
Q -
"What advice would you give someone rated 1600?"
A -
"All games between players rated <1800 are decided on pieces being blundered on almost every move. So I guess the most useful thing is just do exercises -- which pieces can you capture in this particular position?"
he's kind of right lol, I hung 3 queens yesterday alone
You are 2000.
Well for him every move of ours is blunder afterall....
1800 USCF used to be roughly the 90th percentile of tournament players. And the share of rated games played by those folks was roughly 1/2 of all games in the U.S. That implies these folks (10 percent) are playing 5 times as many games as the lower 90 percent.
The top 10 percent are on a mission to win, and the lower 90 percent are just "pushing wood," (some might say). And chess doesn't even begin to "get serious" until you break 1900 or into the Expert Class. Very Simple. And the Royal Game remains a (happy) life-long addiction for many players, (regardless of rating).

No, maybe most of the moves made by lower rated player a wrong, and masters and grandmasters know this. But the rest of us in our joyful oblivion are still on a mission to win, and still fight hard, and the game goes on. We get what we want out of it, without the sense of seriousness and superiority and ambition. I don't care about ratings. As long as there are people ready to scrap, lets get it on.
I must have pointed this out a few times before, but I bet this will end up as an actual Carlsen quote when his biographies are written :-) It’s a bit like with the journalist that made up a history of the bathtub with only fake facts, and the statements ended up in hundreds of encyclopedias :-) Maybe the OP just got tired of posting subjects about that you should be able to force rematches etc and decided to go for immortality with making up a Carlsen quote, at least in hasn’t been entirely unsuccesful. At least most people believe in it, going by the posts :-)
He'd probably win if he was allowed to puff some cigar smoke on his face.
