I wouldn't say it's as bad as people make it out.
He's still more than 40 points ahead of the second player, Topalov.
We all know that Magnus has had a terrible 2015 so far. But how bad is it? Does anybody know what Carlsen's combined rating performance in 2015 is? Is he playing below a 2800 level, like any ordinary super-GM?
Terrible? He won Tata, Baden-Baden and Gashimov Memorial, finished second in Sinquefield Cup and won the rapid World Championship. Not bad for a terrible year.
Well, looking at the figures, I must admit that «terrible» is something of an exaggeration (although I don’t necessarily think Magnus himself would disagree). The fact that he has lost something like 10 games this year made me think it was worse than it actually is in terms of rating.
Nevertheless, he has lost 42 ELO points (from 2876 to 2834) since June, and it would be interesting to know what ELO performance that corresponds to (also 2015 overall for that matter).
I hope it’s just a temporary rating decline, but I strongly suspect that it’s permanent. He seems less dedicated, less motivated, and his usual self-confidence seems to be gone. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him quit top-level chess within a few years.

I just posted the 2015 overall ratings of his.
