Magnus loses in the 3rd round at Berlin to a GM who beat him in last year's Olympiad Yes probably unsound Bishop sac..but I thought he would be able to draw the endgame. Magnus pouted after the game and refused interviews to anyone.
Joined 31 May '12 Moves 8144 It’s an exciting endgame: 3 pawns (Carlson) vs a piece (Naiditsch). Carlson storms the king side with 4 pawns and a rook and against a lone pawn and king defending, while Naiditsch’s QRP makes an end run on the other side of the board.

Joined 13 Dec '03 Moves 156184 Anand played a real howler vs. Magnus in Round 3, then Magnus ground down Baramidze in Round 4. He and Naiditsch are tied for first with 3.5

Joined 13 Nov '14 Moves 835 Naiditsch previously lost to Carlsen and said Carlsen was "lucky". Now he beats Magnus twice in a row. Magnus pressing too hard?

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 42492 It's Carlsen's 10th Move that kicks the game off.
Apparently 49...Rf4 instead of 49...Kf6 is the move that draws.
The jury is still out on whether Carlsen paid the penalty for trying
to win a drawn game. But most suspect that is the case.
And why not? Turning book drawn endings into wins seems to be one of his trademarks.

Joined 13 Dec '03 Moves 156184 Naiditsch and Carlsen tied for first with 4.5-2.5, then 1-1 in the playoff. Think Carlsen won on tiebreaks due to more wins with Black.
