Is there any doubt that Nakamura is the best player in the world?
I watched the round 3 post interview of Magnus and Fabiano and it was uneasy to watch Magnus behave again in that way. The manner he exited at the end is also very unpleasant and gives light that he was struggling. While Fabiano has maintained his composure, Magnus seems can not do the same. A weakness indeed.

Answer your question by yourself at the end of the tournament.
As Botvinnik said, the world champ is the best among equals.
There is no longer a player who dominates a lot.
Yes, concerned as well by Carlsen’s strange behaviour after a defeat. I remember his disrespectful comments after his loss against Ivanchuk at the Candidates in London. The boy still has a lot to learn. Even chesswise, it seems. I hardly imagine any GM failing to draw that rook endgame he had against Caruana… Good news for Vishy.
