But overall Magnus has played best so far.
I used to think that Carlsen is in a class of his own, but according to the current ELO rating they are equal (2835 - 2832)

Almost went with an up yours on this post, just because that's always funny, but went with a real answer instead.WTF? The world championship matches are all behind a paywall? I noticed I had not seen 1 minute of live footage and checked what's going on, and FIDE thinks we will pay 20$ per draw and Carlsens arrogant mug is what's going on.
Sorry but no, I will have this run like a radio programme in the background and FIDE can go fuck itself. As a sports event this does not hold a candle to Fisher Spassky or Karpov Kasparov anyway, the 2 have zero charisma and will just turn out draw after draw, even the online commentators seem to be just yearning for the end every time.
I get that they are trying to get more money into chess, but I don't see many chess fans paying $20 to watch this. That being said, if they want to make this into a better spectator sport, they better have more money on the line and create their own "drama" stories. We need a UFC style press conference where someone leaves with a pawn shoved into an orifice.
