The great Grandmaster

It's a minor surprise that it doesn't happen more often, but GM Magnus Carlsen and GM Hikaru Nakamura were the winners of Titled Tuesday on December 19. Carlsen scored 10/11 in the early event, beating Nakamura by half a point, and in the process extended his Chess.com blitz rating record to 3372 (before dropping six points with an 11th-round draw). Carlsen skipped the late event, which Nakamura won outright with 9.5 points.
