This is interesting. Magnus Carlsen relies a great deal on intuition. In an interview from about a dozen years ago, he said that he usually sees the best move right away, but still has to calculate to ensure that intuition is correct. His pattern recognition is the best in the world. He seems to know more about chess than anyone else.
Kasparov and Fischer were better at chess calculation than anyone in their generation. As a result, they tended to play aggressively. Karpov had a completely different style, where he was a strategic player who relied on being able to outmaneuver his opponents. Magnus Carlsen can do both, making him a nearly perfect chess player.
However, in recent years, we have seen the rise of many young players, especially from India and Asia, who could someday become World Champion.
