It's all about layers of memorization and preparation, if he wanted to Carlsen could play 1e5 and probably will someday.
Carlsen never plays 1.e5

Carlsen is weaker than Anand at his prime.
Anand is king, he will win back title.
All hail King Anand!

He prefer 1.c4 opening up the c file.

Carlsen never plays 1.e5.
Neither has anyone else, short of a beginner.

They are cancelling "The Interview". I was so looking forward to that movie.

So... you're protesting by changing your flag to a North Korean one? Why not just use a promotional poster for the movie as your avatar, or something else that's obvious?

Well... I've seen a couple of people using the flag before. A lot of them got banned (not that I'm suggesting there is any direct correlation between those two).

A great feature, the trollograph.
I got mine in a second hand shop. A bit wobbly, but it still shows 0.58 (probably going down a little as a result of peer influence, of having too many other people with a trollograph on the thread).
We'll keep following further developments though.
