This is not only one of the strongest tournaments in the World, Norway 2015 is also part of the 2015 Grand Chess Tour, which includes the Sinquefield Cup and the London Chess Classic later this year.
Nice summary on ChessBase about Carlsen - Perhaps it is the Norway Curse. Perhaps it is the psychological destabilization from his first round loss. Perhaps he is sick. Perhaps Armageddon is upon us. Whatever the reason is, Carlsen, the obvious #1 player in the World and the reigning World Champion, lost again, today to Anand, and sits with only 0.5/4.
After drawing first 3 games Anand faced current world champion and WR #1 Magnus Carlsen in the fourth ... Anand played fantastic game taking full advantage of Carlsen's subpar performance ... Game started with Ruy Lopez defense which Anand turned to Breyer System of the Closed Spanish ... Anand was in control from the start and he kept pressure on black King after 20th move ... Carlsen tried hard with variations and defending but failed to save the game ... He resigned after 47 moves ... So after fourth round Topalov leading with 3½ pts, Nakamura on 2nd position with 3 pts and Anand is tied 3rd with Giri at 2½ pts ... But shockingly Calsen is on last position with only ½ point.
