And today he killed Radjabov. He now has an Elo performance of 3143 and leads by 2 points. He has also overtaken Anand on the Live Top List (http://chess.liverating.org/).

Woohoo! In today's game against Wang Yue, it first looked like Carlsen would be lucky to achieve a draw. Then I had to do some work, and when I came back, he had won! His current performance rating is 3019, not too shabby!
The news on the tournament homepage are always a pleasure to read. "Carlson: Kaspalov help me through Internet"

But they do seem to have learned a bit. They aren't talking about elephants and chariots anymore.

Originally posted by TerrierJackWait, you sure? I just checked www.chessgames.com and Carlsen has a 1-1-4 record against Nakamura (which, fair enough, is impressive for Nakamura considering his rating), but he's 1-7-8 against Kramnik. I'm thinking Kramnik is the gargolye perched on Carlsen's shoulder.
Nakamura!
