Magnus is unbeatable.
Carlsen, way to go. For me you were a bit too obvious back then with everyone celebrating you early, but you showed, well you showed me earlier, but you confirmed youself in this tournament. You are a guy who plays well, more than well, but does not take himself too seriously. There is so much you can do, from all scales. As an amateur I think you can begin where Botvinnik left off, but of course I hope you go where you please.
If only I could know what you thought of my play, or even openings, but way to go! (Remember the Vienna too ;))
Stop looking at my girlfriend, anon 6:48.
