Carlsen gave an interview in spite of his depressing condition yesterday.
where he said that everything is going badly, he does not understand why,
it is possible that on the rest of the day this nightmare will continue and he
dreams of only one thing, so that this tournament ends soon.
Today, at first it seemed to everyone that he had recovered - after a draw
he won 3, but after the rout from Ding Liren everything again rolled down.
The result is again 50% (3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses).
Blitz summary:
Total standings according to the traditional scoring system:
The total result according to the rules of this tournament was won by Levon Aronian.
1. Aronian - 22; 2-4. Ding Liren, Vashier-Lagrave, Yu Yangyi - 21.5 each;
5. Karjakin - 19.5; 6. Carlsen - 17; 7. Rapport - 16.5; 8. Caruana - 15;
9. Dominguez - 13.5; 10. Mamedyarov - 12.
Now Carlsen in both rapid and blitz is in second place in the rating.
In the blitz, he was “ahead of” Nakamura, who simply did not play in this tournament.
And on the 17th the tournament starts in the classics ... The most difficult mode is three tournaments in a row.
What should a depressed Magnus do? It will be a pity if he spoils such a game
imagine your own phenomenal rating in the classics, which will then be very difficult to catch up.
It is hoped that he is healthy and will be able to play classics in his former style.
