Carlsen caps stunning Shamkir by beating Grischuk

Magnus Carlsen completed a brilliant 2990 performance in the Gashimov Memorial in Shamkir by beating Alexander Grischuk in the final round to end on 7/9, a full two points ahead of Ding Liren and Sergey Karjakin. Grischuk said his opponent played “amazingly well” in what was a third phenomenally good win in a row, taking the World Champion to 2860.8 on the live rating list, heights no-one else has ever reached. His personal record is 2889.2, and he can try to get closer to that when he plays the GRENKE Chess Classic in 10 days’ time.
