MCCT Finals 5: Carlsen dominates Nakamura

Magnus Carlsen ended Hikaru Nakamura’s brief reign as the top scorer in the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour Finals with a commanding 2.5:0.5 victory over the US star in Round 5. The win saw Magnus extend his overall lead over Wesley So to 5 points, but it could easily have been 7, since Anish Giri was on the verge of beating Wesley before committing a huge blunder and going on to lose a playoff. Teimour Radjabov beat Levon Aronian to catch his rival in 3rd place, while there were also wins for Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Vladislav Artemiev.
