| Oct-12-15 | | 1971: Carlsen putting on a master class this tournament. |

 | | MissScarlett: Ease up on <apexin>. As a Brit he undoubtedly thinks he's at the centre of the known Universe and that the topgraphical minutiae of the backwaters of Europe are no import. |

| | MissScarlett: Based on the play so far, Nakamura did well to hide out in Las Vegas. |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | starry2013: I really don't see the point extrapolating this into some anti-UK prejudice. |

 | | chancho: Carlsen took Ivanchuk, chewed him, and spit him out. |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | DeepTrouble: The score for Bocharov seems incorrect. On the official site it says 8.5/12. |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | thegoodanarchist: If you look at the games from this tournament, are the ratings in the header the rapid ratings or the classical ratings? |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | thegoodanarchist: Follow up question to my previous post: And does anybody care about that? |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | Karne: Why is it usually the positional player who is the best at short time controls? |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | Kinghunt: <Why is it usually the positional player who is the best at short time controls?> I would guess it's because the positional players simply <know> the best move intuitively. At their level, it's probably easier to quickly check the tactics than to quickly pick the best positional move assuming the tactics all work out. |

| | chancho: Carlsen repeats as World Rapid Champion. |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | fgh: Great showing by Carlsen, finally establishing himself as the clear #1 in rapid ratings. Seems like he and Kramnik were the only players who went through the tournament unscathed. |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | DeepTrouble: Magnus prepared for the tournament by sparring with Kramnik. Magnus revealed this on Norwegian TV, but Kramnik also revealed this to the Norwegian newspaper VG: http://www.vg.no/sport/sjakk/carlse... |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | LucB: Congratulations to MC.. great result at +8!
Vishy had a good last 5 games; let's see if this gives him a boost for the blitz.. Go Anand! |

| Oct-12-15 | | whiteshark: The old champ is the new champ. Congrats to Magnus!! Nepo again second! |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | DeepTrouble: Fishy:
<thanks DT, wish I spoke Norwegian> Just use Google translate :) |
|

| | MissScarlett: Nakamura is yellow....that's a figure of speech, by the way. |

 | | moronovich: <Karne: Why is it usually the positional player who is the best at short time controls?> Intuition and pattern recognition works faster than calculation. |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | Sokrates: Fisky and others. I'm not a Norwegian but a Dane understands the language. Kramnik is quoted for saying this to "VG", Berlin: "Magnus was the obvious favourite to win this. I am not the least surprised. We have trained a bit together before the championship and I knew how strong he was." |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | Sokrates: And huge congrats to Carlsen. He kept a cool head while facing many strong opponents. |
|
| Oct-12-15 | | starry2013: It's a shame he wasn't pushed more, he could win just through draws towards the end. |
|
| Oct-13-15 | | Wavy: Naka should have been here. |
|
| Oct-13-15 | | Pulo y Gata: Fantastic result by Magnus. |
|
| Oct-13-15 | | siggemannen: Impressive by Bocharov too!
Also, some other lower rated players over-performed nicely. |
