    Yeah, that tough candidates tournament probably led to this.

    Also, some of Carlsens recent results makes me think he wont be reaching the 2900 mark, which is quite a shame as it'd put a lot of Fischer stans to rest I think as to who the GOAT is.

      Ya I can't imagine after collapsing a bit in the 2nd half of the candidates tournament he's feeling great. Especially considering Carlson not defending. He is a pro. He'll be back.

      Carlson did fine in this tournament... But ya gotta do better than fine to get 2900. Can't be drawing IMs
