London Chess Classic 2015: Magnus Carlsen Campeón

El GM Magnus Carlsen se hace nuevamente ganador del London Chess Classic versión No. 7.

Normalmente no hago quejas de la forma que se juegan los torneos y el Sistema que emplean. Todos tienen sus ventajas y desventajas. Pero estoy de acuerdo con Nakamura que este final del GCT (Grand Chess Tour) tuvo muchas anomalías (parece ser que los jugadores recibieron nuevas reglas del torneo el ultimo día) Por ejemplo en Noruega, Giri gano 2 partidas y Carlsen perdió 2. En USA Giri gano 1 y Carlsen 1. En este último en Inglaterra, ambos ganaron 2 partidas. Como es un torneo donde se suman todas las victorias, Giri tenía +2. En el último round hubo tres jugadores con el mismo score (5.5) Por que no sumaron los puntos de los tres torneos y dar así el campeón del GCT? Nakamura y Maxime Vachier-Lagrave tuvieron mejor puntaje que Carlsen en los tres torneos. Entonces se jugaron unas semifinales entre Giri y Maxime ganando este último. Se llega a una final entre Magnus y Maxime ganando el torneo y el Tour el campeón mundial. Y para completar, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave no podrá participar en el GCT 2016 por no tener los suficientes puntos. No entiendo…
