Aug-08-17 Magnus Carlsen 
| |
| Oxnard: Carlsen is really playing better than +1 in Saint Louis. If he'd closed out his games with Anand and/or MVL he'd be on +3/+4. |

Jul-23-16 Carlsen vs Giri, 2016
| |
| Oxnard: <change his approach> i.e. stop being a drawmaster |

Jul-23-16 Giri vs Carlsen, 2016
| |
| Oxnard: Following this narrow escape, Giri taunted Carlsen on Twitter, writing "Takk" ("thanks" in Norwegian). Carlsen responded by trouncing Giri in their very next encounter, five days later. |

Jul-15-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016
| |
| Oxnard: Psychological coup de grâce from Carlsen ahead of the WCC. Winning that game from such a non-opening as that. |

Jun-13-16 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2016
| |
| Oxnard: <SirRuthless> The height of pettiness. How many countless times has Carlsen obliterated the field in the last 10 years? Few players in the history of chess have matched his dominance. |

May-06-16 So vs Kasparov, 2016
| |
| Oxnard: <SugarDom> Not just the fanboys, also ChessBase, and the GMs commentating the tournament. Kasparov, on the other hand, didn't think so much of it (though perhaps he's a little biased). |

Mar-28-16 Sergey Karjakin
| |
| Oxnard: Fantastic result! More fascinating even than if the favourite, Caruana, had qualified. New rivalries have been made in the chess world today, and this might be the year Karjakin lifts his game higher than ever before. |
