Jan-23-15 Tata Steel Masters (2015)
| |
| fref: <SetNoEscapeOn> and <chancho>: I just want to point out an exception to your statement about Carlsen's strenght at the end of tournaments. He lost his last game at the Candidates 2013, when it could have mattered. |

Aug-28-14 Sinquefield Cup (2014)
| |
| fref: Carlsen, as the No.1 rated player by a wide margin and the triple-champion (Classical, rapid and blitz) will still be widely recognized (at least for a while) as the strongest player in the world even if he declines participation in this WC match. |
