Returning to the points posed, does anyone attach significance the manner of this loss of Carlsen's. Personally I think he was outclassed. Is it only me who thinks that bearing in mind that rating points weren't in play and perhaps, just perhaps, Carlsen wasn't taking it so seriously?

Even the WC gets outclassed on occasion, its when a player does it more often than that where you take notice.

Yeah, take your point, it's just something doesn't seem quite right to me but maybe Magnus wasn't taking it so seriously and me reading too much into it. If rating points were up for grabs, I think he would have played differently.
