What Carlsen does that others can`t

Does someone knows if it is true that Carlsen chooses White openings with minimum advantage and manage to pull out wins because he plays one perfect move after another - something other elite GMs are unable to so in their hands Carlsen`s choice of a White opening would give more draws and loses?

I think it boils down to keeping a drawn position until the other person makes a mistake.  From there you keep the advantage and make it grow.

Carlsen drinks loads of orange juice. Most of us can't.

I somewhat agree with tiger.
That is exactly what I don't like about Carlsen. Too mechanical, too cold.
He just plays to maintain the drawish positions until his opponent blunders.
Kid Carlsen was cool, though, he played some really nice sacrifices.

Yeah but Gnrf, chess is a sport, and in sport to win, exchaustion of opponent is often how it`s done.

MuhammadAreez10

It's a good approach anyways.

I get it, I just don't like his style at all.

Vitamin C works wonders! Might consider having some.

Lol, everyone is so stupid among top GMS, trying to play as good as he is, try to increase their skill, while the answer how he does it was in front of their eyes all the time, it`s the orange juice - vitamin C! Hahah.

I don't like citrus fruits though. Oranges and lemons and stuff. Yuk!

I think his juice has got Vitamin See.

MuhammadAreez10

Vitamin See! Could be.

He has a photographic memory and unbelievable technique.  As the greatest player of all time so far every move of his will be dissected until at least the 22nd century.

Yeah, I think it's the fact that he's memorized a billion games. He knows what to do in every position, he is just closer to a perfect game of chess than anyone else.

I object.
