Yeah saw that,

Magnus has this very bizarre tendency to start a tournament horribly. Karjakin will probably press like crazy in game 1 of the WCC in NYC this fall, since Magnus is very vulnerable at the beginning.

Karjakin is a very difficult player to beat, so an early "free point" giveaway by Magnus is not recommended in the WCC.

Yes, Karjakin should try to press early. Although I would have preferred a Carlsen-Caruana match, I'm looking forward to this one.
 
Nakamura used some Gung-Fu on the Norse God.

This a great trend in chess. You have a side tournament, right with the most elite tournament in the world. The layout is psychologically very respectful of the amateur.

This is very exciting for the amateur.
