Well, I could easily beat Carlsen in an endgame with one bishop and one pawn up. So if I were to start a game against him with two bishops, I could develop my pieces normally and then sacrify a bishop for a pawn to throw an attack at his king (somewhere in f7 or h7 for example). Then I'll have the initiative and still a material advantage, so what could he do? I know I am not so good, but I am confident I am not gonna fall into cheap tricks.
Also, I think some part of the difference in strength between Carlsen and I lies in his massive knowledge of the openings, which will be gone if I start the game with a two bishops handicap.
