Round eight, the penultimate round, proved to be crucial. While Nakamura won against Aronian Carlsen had much more time on the clock and the much better position against Laurent Fressinet but failed to convert his advantage to a win. Now Nakamura was leading by half a point before the ninth and final round.
Hikaru Nakamura
Thus, the last round had to decide who would win the Rapid Event of the Paris Grand Chess Tour. Carlsen was playing with White against Vladimir Kramnik and had to hope that Nakamura would stumble with Black against Fabiano Caruana.
Carlsen once again showed his amazing ability to keep calm under pressure and managed to convert a slightly better position gradually into a win. But this time Nakamura proved to be more lucky. In a sharp game he profited from the fact that Caruana was not in top form and missed a couple of chances to put Nakamura under serious pressure.
