Well like all super GMs there’s a combination of things. What sets him apart from other top players, though? Two things for me:
His understanding of endgames and knowledge of tablebase
His memory - he has 10,000 games stored in his mind.

Because he was trained by GMs and learned very fast. He has an incredible memory and remembers just about every chess position he has ever seen.
