I found the original one for you: "I can't play with you because I don't understand the way you play or your train of thought. - (to Karpov)".

No, no! I meant the last:
"So I wonder.. Does a player class above knows something important or many small amounts of knowledge that a player class below does not know? Does chess genius Carlsen knows something no one knows yet?"
I like that one! But thanks anyway! So was that you talking there? :D
Emm, yeah? It`s nothing special. It`s from experience. When I went from B to A Class I learned some stuff I did`t know back then I was B Class, now I am Expert because I know things I did`t know when I was A Class(+ became better at certain things too of course-discipline). Also starting from Steinitz to Kasparov (and probably further) each chess genius discovered something about chess no one before him did, or upgaded the common understanding of that time about particular part of chess. You see the pattern, right?
"When I was a child I started to discover chess`s secrets, it was amazing"-Carlsen.
I don`t believe the crap about his intuition. In fact there is no such thing. There is something he knows no one else does. And one can`t learn it from just watching his games. Nethere can computer tell. But that`s not why he is the best in the world, he has big talent for chess. I see talent as "analysing capacity", there are so many things to observe on each move. The position changes with each move.
very often in analyses room Carlsen would say about a certain move "I did`t like it". Then the commentator would try to say that it looks good, computers agree. Then again Carlsen says" Well, I did`t like it". ONE OF THE SECRETS/TRICKS ABOUT CHESS THAT HE USES tells him it`s not good. Not his intuition. But of course he will just say "I did`t like it." It`s not like he wants to tell or raise roumers like I did about chess secrets.

The answer 2 that/this is yes; that player: Knows Themself! They know themself, better than any1, except God (their creator, etc..). The individual is constantly evolving, either 4 better or worse. This statement: "I understand how any living player thinks except Karpov."-Spassky, 1970, implies that, Spassky may knew Karpov, been around him, formally (whatever), but never really knew him as an individual; what drove him; how his mind works, etc... .
Carlsen's knowledge, expertise, of the game comes from (within) him. & unless this is Inception, no real man with power will tell u his secrets, knowledge; give u his source of power.
Carlsen, may b strong, but there r others who r stronger than him; so what do they know? They know themselves! This is the ultimate knowledge/power, that we, as chess players, & individuals have

Chess is much more. Hehe. When I got my first girlfriend it took 2 years to understand a woman. Chess took me 10 years.

Those who progress at chess have not always discovered more about chess, rather more about themselves.

So I wonder.. Does a player class above knows something important or many small amounts of knowledge that a player class below does not know? Does chess genius Carlsen knows something no one knows yet?
