Maxime Vachier-Lagrave emerged from the 5+1 blitz section with a +1 lead. This was the game that allowed him to go into the remaining sections up on the scoreboard:
Understanding Middlegame Strategies Vol.1 and 2
These DVDs are about Understanding Middlegame Strategies. In the first DVD dynamic decisions involving pawns are discussed. The second DVD deals with decision making process concerning practical play.
In the 3+1 blitz section, seven games favoured the player who had the white pieces, which were followed by a single draw — in which Carlsen had white! Vachier-Lagrave was thus able to extend his lead.
Eight games were also played in the bullet-chess final section. Magnus Carlsen almost mounted a comeback in the end, but he could not overcome the two-point deficit. Vachier-Lagrave had knocked out the world champion.
Magnus Carlsen is not invincible, after all!
Congratulations to @Vachier_Lagrave!
