The news on the tournament homepage are always a pleasure to read.
Can anyone explain that scarifying technique to me?

I hope Kasparov stays with him for a while, who knows how good Carlsen could become?
Here's his last round game:
25. ... Ne4? was a horrible blunder for such a strong player to make.
