If God played in a tournament, I predict all games would be lost on time.
how does carlsen win every game do you know the answer

LOL lluvsmtune...I totally agree with you.
BTW...great Catwoman costume...
Magnus Carlsen Stats- Win- 41.2% Loss-18.2% Draws - 40.6%
Of course, this is his total record, and he is obviously performing better in recent years.

Since I'm part of a monotheism religion, I would say that since there is only one God, and God basically is onmicient therefore he would know everything and win every game... well unless he decides to lose one for fun... but I'm not God, so Idk...

How do you know that?
God only plays perfect chess. Perfect chess is a draw, so God only draws.
That is assuming God is playing against himself.
Here is the general principle behind Magnus Carlsen: Activate the rooks faster than your opponent (gain some measure of greater mobility with them) trade of all the minor pieces, and win cause your rooks dominate the board.
The priciple is easy to understand, the execution is the hard part.

I couldn't disagree more. Take for example his game against Boris Gelfand in 2011. Gelfand brought both of his rooks to Magnus's back rank and they were way more active than Magnus's rook. Yet, Magnus won. Magnus doesn't have a general principle. I've read that the vast majority of his games are won through his calculation, intuition, and through his persistance in seemengly drawn positions, but that's not a general principle. Most people don't have a general principle as that makes them more easy to be prepared for.

This game actually illustrates my point, look at the rook on f3 in comparison to the black rooks on the 1st rank it has way more impact than those ane so much so that carlsen can go an exchange down. Once the white king moves up there no real threats on the 1st rank anymore while the rook on f3 holds whithe's defense and threatens to invade on the 7th rank which with the black king on the 8th is way more dangerous than the black rooks on the 1st rank. Black realized that and spent a lot ove moves and efort on trading the rook on f3.
I know how. It's not just the orange juice. This was written by a GM working for chess.com about MC.
