I usaully don't like draws, but they where all nice fought games. I really like the game of Carlsen. I wonder if he missed a win somewhere. But even if he did miss it, it was still a good game.

I still don't understand why the organizers don't want to let the players to do the job. It would have been an act of brilliance by Carlsen if it were normal time control.

I really don't understand why so far all annotators of the Wang Yue - Carlsen game appoint an exclamation mark to 36...Rxf4 . When I was watching the games live, it was my preferred option - thinking as a human, I thought I'd just be a piece up after the pawn gets to d3. To be fair, completely missed Rxf4 while watching the games, so that may well be part of the reason I preferred the move 36...d4 :-P Michael Schwerteck makes an excellent point… I really don’t understand why so far all annotators of the Wang Yue – Carlsen game appoint an exclamation mark to 36…Rxf4 .

After playing playing so forcefully and creatively , Carlsen let the win slip through his fingers. What a shame. 32 ….. a5! , intending a4 followed by Nc3 and Bf5, sure looks to be winning for white.
