Finally a mistake that Magnus couldn't immediately gently caress up.

I can't believe how intense round 3 was. I think I peed a little.

This is so bad for Sergey. He's also probably crashing from all that coffee he drank earlier.

I don't like black's position, it's all too much clumped together. Then again, what do I know.

Not even a resignation. Just a straight up mate. This was the style with which Magnus should have been playing in other recent games.

As I was waiting for the elevator, a short woman ran up to Topalov and hugged him. He looked kinda embarrassed and said something like "no, no, not now" (I had my headphones on) and sort of waved her on.

Carlsen starting slow. Played too agressive and lost control, but managed to salvage half a point in the end.
