scholes: Carlsen understanding of endgames is way better than current generation of players, possibly even better than Kramnik and Kasparov. His opening knowledge is way lesser though.

| |
|
scholes: Black was just waiting for his imminent death. Shuffling his pieces in his back rank, waiting for white to finish the game. Reminds me of my openings, when i have nothing to do but wait after the opening phase is over.
