London System win by Carlsen analyzed here. Very impressive blitz game, Nakamura had to find only moves to survive with Black. Carlsen could have finished with a brilliant checkmate.

 
Position 1

after 17Qf3!?. Naka should have exchanged the queens or play ..Nd5!?

 

 

 

after 25..Nbc5 White could have won in 3 moves. Carlsen won easily but this would have been a fitting end to a great tournament. Congrats to Magnus for winning rapid and blitz world championships in 2019. While being the classical chess champ !

Amazing how Carlsen turned a dry position isn't a slug fest against one of the best speed players alive and came out on top.
