Carlsen is a lucky champion , do you remember the way he won the candidates? In the penultimate round, he could not win to Radjabov, the position it was an easy draw ( a draw= kramnik win ) ,and then suddenly Radjabov make strange moves and he loses! .
He lost the last round too vs Svidler like an amateur he lost the nerve where a real champion (like karpov,kasparov,federer...) show to the world they are the best in his sport , no more tricks, win by K.O . Carlsen victories are Pyrrhic and hollow.
if just only kramnik had make draw vs Ivanchuk , Bye Bye Carlsen . HAHA but this guy is too lucky. Kramnik lost with a Pirc !!! it was surreal watch kramnik played that opening .
Carlsen was frightened too in the second match vs Vishy, he made the blunder greatest of all time but then luckily for him, over and over again, he was lucky and his opponent failed and blunder too!!."
OK, Carlsen was lucky in the Candidates he won. And lucky in one game vs Anand.
But he defeated Anand 6 wins to 1 over 2 12 game matches. He has consistently held the No 1 rating for, what?, 5 years, often by a long way.
These things do not happen by chance. And an ELO rating isn't someone's opinion, they are calculated.
