    How cool. Guess it's his biggest tournament triumph. Meanwhile, hoping for a similar great performance from you in Moscow Chess Queen. PLAY AWESOME like you always do.

    He played pretty steady throughout the tournament. Great performance. But I am really sad Carlsen goes for this self-destruct thing. I hate him for that.
