Sigh.................... really superking, really??
does magnus understand opening theory
Sort:
Superking,you should start a thread about how Magnus Carlsen is really black. That other one you just did was great. A classic. A laugh a minute.
Magnus is one of the players with best understanding through the whole game, but probably with an extra edge after move 20.
He can answer everything, out of sheer understanding, but some clubplayers said that openings wasnt his best side. I do guess he is sharper in openings now, especially after the preparations to the Anand WC-match.
All the Carlsengames I have seen has been very god from the first move and all the way. I saw Caruana beat him, but that was brilliance from Caruana.

Magnus is very strong against strong players, but up against worse players he tends to faulter and lose rating points. He needs someone to tell him which squares the king and queen start on. When he plays Aronian he can clearly see where his king and queen go and then he obviously wins the game. Nakamura is also a different case. Nakamura is also better than Carlsen, but because Carlsen can play better against better players we just think Nakamura sucks against Carlsen.
Nakamura is not better than Carlsen.

Don't know what this means. But I am inclined to agree.
Yep, superking has been controlling his Carlsen crush.
[COMMENT DELETED]
Does Magnus understand opening theory? Does a bear poop in the woods? Does Dolly Parton have to sleep on her back? Does a frog bump it's butt when it hops? Come on superking, snap out of it.
1. If you have an absolute understanding of chess, you can figure out openings yourself. Carlsen is at that level.
2. If you have seen all the opening variants and remember them, you will manage well. Carlsen have seen, and remembers.
3. I you want to get closer to Carlsen-strenght, openings is one the things to learn, but more important is general chessunderstanding. Spend 100 000 hours very well, and get a lot of matches, included international tournaments meeting strong masterplayers, and you will be closing the gap significantly, if you have the talent.
10000 hours is what it takes for a supertalent to become IM or GM, Magnus was IM or GM when he was 13 years old, and have practiced maybe 15000 to 20000 hours after he became GM. They say 5 hours a day, and on top of that a fair amount of physical exercise, football (soccer), basketball etc.
The fact that Magnus was GM so early proves that he is a faster learner than other chessplayers, so we must calculate more time than him to become superfantastic good.
he is the best player in the world, but do you guys think he understands the overall concept and important details of the opening?
