Carlsen did an ‘Anand’ and won. Plenty of draws and hoping for a favourable decision by other players results! Fortunately these days with players being more independent, pre – arrangement is much less,or Carlsen would suffer just as much as Fischer did,during the Soviet era of chess dominance. That said, one vs another match format is still the better way to decide World Championship matches.
Carlsen won the tournament because nobody could stay on top, not because he really won it himself.
So Carlsen wins! Good for him.
He is a gentleman and a great player.
