It appeared like we were entering an era where everything that decided chess was computer preparation and memory.

Then Carlsen comes and boom: He only wants a playable middlegame, where he can outplay his opponent. "Pure chess", like Lasker, Capa and Karpov in his early years.

And you like drawing ? Against carlsen you can't be sure, his skills and desire to win are so great that even drawish positions bring risks of losing to him. everybody remember how he completely outplayed kramnik and Anand in positions that a lot of grandmaster would have agreed in a draw.

We can only hope he matains his form until 36 years old or more.

Fighting chess is so good.
